The Girls on the Bus follows the tale of four journalists who intend to join the political campaign bus for the presidential elections and cover it. Each different in their personalities, appearances, reporting styles and medium, the show centres around Sadie McCarthy, essayed by Melissa Benoist, a journalist with yesteryear beliefs. Sadie still romanticises the bygone-era style of campaign reporting and is ready to change her life to properly cover a presidential campaign.

Sadie is joined on the journey by three fierce peers and competitors, who eventually bond with one another on their journey, both physically and metaphorically. Carla Gugino is Grace, a seasoned, flawless reporter who always covers the news first and intends to leave no ground space for others, while Natasha Behnam is a new-age reporter and social media influencer who believes online to be the new and ultimate medium.
