When the wife of a powerful Hollywood executive unceremoniously dumps her for a younger model, she must pick up the pieces and start over again. To make matters worse, most of Molly's friends have also dumped her, she can't get a seat in any upscale restaurants, her gym membership has been canceled and she can't get her mind off the mysterious man from the beach.
