Feeling her life is hectic with no clear direction, Lauren is in search of having no strings attached fun.
In order to keep on track of her various sexual partners, she develops a spreadsheet with all of their names and any intimate details she discovered during their encounters.
With the help of her friend Alex (played by Rowan Witt), Lauren starts to get a grip on what she really wants from men, as well as juggle her usual family responsibilities.
But will it be possible for her plan to work in the long run or is it doomed to fail?

Talking about the series to RadioTimes.com, Parkinson said: “It’s quite rude, isn’t it?
“It was a departure for me because I got to be sexually viable. It was nice to lean into that, to be sexually front-footed like Lauren is, because I can be quite coy about those things in life.
“On my 44th birthday they accidentally scheduled three, four sex scenes. I was like, ‘This is not how I expected to be spending my birthday’.
“I’m doing fine for my age, but I’m really not very limber.”
Parkinson is also currently starring in BBC One’s sitcom Here We Go as well.
Alongside Parkinson, the comedy stars Alison Steadman, Jim Howick, Tom Basden and Freya Parks.
The description reads: “Family life with no filter.
“The Jessops navigate life’s everyday challenges – from changing jobs to kidnapping dogs.”
Spreadsheet premieres on Wednesday, May 18, at 10.05pm on Channel 4.
