Lady-Like follows Allie (Simbari), who is simultaneously a hilarious loudmouth and brilliant introvert, as she struggles to find her place at a prestigious university. Hindered by her inclination to simply throw on a pair of sweatpants, order take out, and watch Netflix, Allie effectively eludes the obstacles in her life-preferring gossip and humor to working hard and finding concrete solutions. However, when her best friend and social crutch, Kort (Gallerani), starts dating a transfer student, Allie's left to fend for herself; drinking, dating, and cursing her way into young womanhood with the tact and grace of a wrecking ball.
