After moving to Los Angeles as a teenager, Tucker spent several years supporting herself as a waitress and exotic dancer while she wrote and produced plays like Will Strip For Food and Eve Of Paradise.

In 2003, a script co-written by Tucker and Sera Gamble was one of three finalists[3] in Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's HBO filmmaking competition, Project Greenlight.

Tucker wrote for the first two seasons of the CW's Supernatural, winning a Constellation Award for Best Science Fiction Teleplay, before joining Alan Ball to work on HBO's breakout series True Blood.

In her free time, Tucker optioned the rights to Stephanie Oakes' novel The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly, inspired by the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale The Handless Maiden.

Tucker developed the pilot, before bringing on executive producer Scott Winant (True Blood, Fargo, Breaking Bad, My So-Called Life) and sold a ten-episode order of the series to Facebook Watch.
