That's what one young woman finds out in a new series coming to Refinery29, The Hollywood Reporter said. Strangers, from R29, Beachside and Jesse Peretz (Girls), takes Isobel on a journey of self-discovery with her lesbian best friend as she begins renting out her spare bedroom in a final attempt to keep the home she loves.
