Set in the insular bohemian enclave of Venice, California, Flaked follows Chip, a charismatic, long-time resident who serves as an unofficial life coach and recovering alcoholic mentor to those around him. Ten years after causing a fatal drunk-driving accident, Chip has constructed a delicate, laid-back persona founded on recovery meetings, artisanal stool-making, and dispensing sage wisdom. However, beneath his enlightened exterior lies a fragile web of half-truths, emotional avoidance, and lingering addictions. Chip's carefully calibrated lifestyle begins to splinter when he falls for London, a charming newcomer to Venice who has caught the eye of his insecure best friend, Dennis. As Chip struggles to balance loyalty to his closest companion with his own selfish impulses, his covert hypocrisies start catching up to him, threatening the foundation of his recovery community and his social standing. As the series progresses, real estate pressures, romantic tangles, and unresolved traumas strip away Chip's facade layer by layer. Forced to confront the severe consequences of his deceptions and the reality of his own sobriety, Chip must decide whether he is truly capable of genuine transformation or doomed to remain trapped in the cycle of his own superficial mythology.
