In 'Leave it to Me', Debby Di Martino, an adopted young woman, embarks on a journey to discover her origins. Born in a remote Indian village, the daughter of a hippie backpacking mother and a mysterious Eurasian father, Debby seeks answers about her past. Her search takes her to San Francisco, where she reinvents herself as Devi Dee and immerses herself in the local subculture. As she gets closer to the truth about her biological mother, Debby discovers that she has inherited more than she imagined, including an instinct for deception and self-preservation. In her quest for revenge, Debby leaves a trail of chaos and confronts the complexities of identity, guilt, and personal and national responsibility.
