A high-energy romantic comedy about game-playing and power dynamics in dating, built on humor, fourth-wall breaking, and the central romance's push-pull tension.

Corporate overachiever and all-around fly chick Shanté Smith thinks she's got the goods to keep her slickster boyfriend Keith, from straying—until he discovers a greener pasture, Shanté's archrival, Conny. Scorned, she plans to get her man back by any means necessary.
