Lena and Martin were once madly in love. But, like many marriages, time and circumstance eventually took their toll, and they decide that everyone's lives would be better if they got a divorce.

As Lena begins to dip her toes into the dating waters, Martin begins to see his own culpability in his marriage falling apart.
