A warm, lighthearted romantic comedy about a divorced woman rediscovering love through family support and personal growth, built on humor, hope, and the comfort of second chances.

Sarah Nolan is a newly divorced woman cautiously rediscovering romance with the enthusiastic but often misguided help of her well-meaning family. As she braves a series of hilarious disastrous mismatches and first dates, Sarah begins to trust her own instincts again and learns that, no matter what, it's never a good idea to give up on love.
