Luckily, her fellow co-workers Brandi and Alex (played by Cassie Clare and Miriam-Teak Lee) lend a helping hand, united by their own recent breakups.
As the trio of Jadyn, Brandi, and Alex navigate the complexities of their newfound singleness, they band together to seek revenge on their exes while crafting the ultimate Galentine’s Day celebration.
