Fifteen years ago Mel and Jen discovered they were being two-timed by the same man. Bitter and cynical they formed, The Breaker Upperers, a small-time business breaking up couples for cash. Now, in their late-thirties business is booming. They’re a platonic, couple who keep their cynicism alive by not getting emotionally involved with anybody else. When they run into an old victim, Mel develops a conscience. Jen’s tightens her stranglehold on Mel but this only succeeds in driving her away. The friendship erupts when Jen discovers Mel having sex with a client. Jen, desperately unhappy, seeks out their mutual ex boyfriend. Jen is forced to take stock of her life and win her friend back.
