It’s a dilemma old as time; how do you mend a broken heart? Safely tucked in her Manhattan apartment, Jesse Collins uses her quick wit as a shield to keep the world at arm’s length. Calvin, her best friend, steps up to meddle as only a best friend would, trying to find a woman to re-ignite the spark. Calvin’s lover, Mitchell, is skeptical of the plan, as is Jesse herself. There’s a new woman in the building, but could she possibly be the one to inspire Jesse to move on? Over the course of a year these friendships are tested and tried, and lives and loves are rewritten with unexpected endings.
