After seven years of marriage, a couple decides to call it quits—but their “perfect breakup” quickly turns into a messy battle of pride, jealousy, and unresolved feelings. As unexpected twists pull them back together, they must confront the love they thought was long gone. Can they truly walk away from each other?
