Long-time romantics, Janelle and Jacob have been through the gamut of relationships, hook-ups and undefinable situationships. Life in the romance lane has been filled with twists, turns and quick exits, but neither has given up on finding their destination. Along the way, they have developed ways to protect themselves from disappointment. But when both of their first dates go south, they find themselves recuperating at the same watering hole and breaking all of their own rules. Will the daylight of the walk of shame show them the way or prove that logic is the best boundary?
