Plot

Rachel and Lily, neighbors in New York City, navigate life during a deadly viral outbreak. Rachel balances telemedicine and her strained marriage, while Lily convinces clients her skills remain valuable remotely.

Created and written by Robert and Michelle King, "The Bite" follows an unexpected, deadly second wave of the coronavirus outbreak in New York City. It follows the lives of two neighbors, Rachel (McDonald) and Lily (Schilling), as they navigate life in quarantine in New York City. While Rachel juggles her many telemedicine clients as well as a shaky, passionless marriage, Lily is upstairs just trying to convince her Wall Street clientele that her very specific skillset is still just as valuable over video as it was in person. When an unexpected, deadly second wave of the virus arrives, these two women face unprecedented times while still juggling their careers, their loved ones--and possibly...the end of the world?
