Sarah Colonna has built a successful career and surrounds herself with great friends, but somehow she still ends up wandering through casino hotel hallways in Iowa without her pants on New Year's Eve. Her late thirties bring unexpected complications as she navigates crying sessions in nail salons and awkward moments at single-shaming resorts. Sarah embarks on mother-daughter road trips and ventures from America to Mexico, collecting mishaps along the way. A romantic fling falls apart spectacularly while friendships crumble around her. Through casino adventures in Iowa and resort disasters, Sarah discovers that finding love again means risking everything she thought she knew about herself. Her sharp observations turn everyday disasters into moments of unexpected connection and surprising tenderness.
