Synopsis
Deb, a CIA operative, has everything under control until she finds herself jilted, suddenly single, and leaving her D.C. career for a midlife makeover at a remote cabin in the Appalachian Mountains. Alone.
She quickly discovers that rural life isn’t as pretty as the postcards, and her pickup truck is NOT intuitive.
Armed with unshakable optimism, Deb indulges in completely legal yet questionably mature acts of revenge. Imagined or real, it’s harmless, hilarious, and healing.
As she stumbles through self-inflicted mishaps, dumpster-induced trauma, and wildlife encounters, Deb’s childhood friends, a riotous trio of well-meaning besties, reunite. Together, they reenact their youthful antics—only now, their misadventures require good wine and better insurance.
Deb swears off men forever until … a dangerously adorable pilot swoops in— saving her (multiple times) from herself. He’s charming, dependable, and entirely too irresistible for someone she has no interest in.
Avoiding him is easy. Not falling for him? Much harder.
Through relatable moments of gut-wrenching loss and absurd situations, Deb discovers that she is infallible and capable of surviving – even the loss of her livelihood, her cabin, and her son.
Will she need brain surgery? Will Deb rappel a balcony naked before a life-changing moment? Will waterproof undies be necessary to watch this film? (Yes, yes, and absolutely yes.)
Despite her successive failures at life, Deb imparts wisdom, humor, and useful insight for making the best of every situation.
Resilience, friendship, and her choice to find hope lead Deb to discover that healing isn’t about starting over—it’s about embracing heartbreak and chaos with courage, humor, and maybe just a little romance.
