Synopsis:
SETTLE DOWN follows the life of Mason, a charismatic and insightful matchmaker with an unmatched success rate in pairing queer individuals. As the host of the popular podcast "Well Versed," Mason offers sage advice on sex, dating, and relationships to his avid listeners. Yet, despite his proficiency in guiding others to find love, Mason's own romantic life remains a chaotic mess. Juggling a tumultuous history with an ex-fiancé, challenging client cases, and an innate tendency to meddle in the love lives of his friends, Mason finds himself at a crossroads. Can he overcome his personal obstacles and salvage his budding empire of love before it's too late?
