She's a sportscaster who is dealing with a public scandal after she accuses a tennis star of faking a mental health crisis. Brooke is her best friend from her "prime of life" as they raised their children together. She's struggling with the dwindling romance in her marriage and not feeling like a good enough friend to Hollis. Finally, there's Gigi, a woman Hollis met online through her blog. Chronicling the entire weekend is Hollis's daughter Caroline who is interning with a famous documentary filmmaker.

During this trip, the women rediscover the meaning of friendship and overcome their personal struggles. Secrets are also revealed.
