PlotLola, a 29-year-old woman living in New York City, is blindsided when her fiancé Luke ends their engagement just three weeks before their wedding. Heartbroken and adrift, Lola struggles to navigate the sudden upheaval in her life. Seeking solace, she leans heavily on her best friends Alice and Henry, as well as her supportive but somewhat overbearing parents. Determined to rediscover herself, Lola embarks on a journey of self-reflection and attempts to regain control over her life. Her quest for inner peace leads her to explore new relationships and push her personal boundaries.
As Lola delves deeper into her newfound independence, she grapples with the complexities of her emotions and the unpredictability of her social life. She faces awkward encounters, well-meaning but misguided advice from friends, and unexpected realizations about her future. The support of her close-knit social circle helps her confront her vulnerabilities and embrace the uncertain path ahead. Through moments of hilarity, heartache, and self-discovery, Lola learns to redefine her idea of happiness and steadily rebuilds her confidence, gradually piecing together the fragmented parts of her life.
