Three friends-challenged with marriage, work, children, and self-doubt-all fall for the same man.
The handsome, charming, wealthy, and recently divorced Mack Taylor returns to Cape Cod at the beginning of the summer season after years away and shakes up several lives. It all begins with an innocent Facebook friend request to Sadie from Mack. Mack is coming back to the Cape to open a resort. Having once dated him, Sadie she feels she has dibs on a renewed friendship. But she soon realizes she has competition from her best friends: Charlotte, the charismatic former model, and Ada, the smart and coy beauty.
