Her fiancé leaves her for his childhood best friend, so she moves in with the one person who understands exactly how badly that story ends: the other ex.
Then the two abandoned halves start pretending they moved on together.
The joke is supposed to be on their exes—until starting over with the wrong person begins to feel like the first right thing in a long time.
