Grace Stanton catches her husband with another woman and drives his expensive sports car into their pool. The revenge feels good until the consequences hit. Her husband locks her out of their mansion, freezes their bank accounts, and blocks her access to the lifestyle blog that made her famous. Grace moves in with her widowed mother above The Sandbox, a deteriorating beach bar that barely stays afloat. Court orders Grace into divorce recovery therapy with three other women and one man who share little beyond their broken marriages. When their therapist begins acting strangely, the group rebels and starts meeting at The Sandbox for their own Wednesday night sessions. These unlikely allies form bonds that surprise them all. Together they search for closure through methods none of them expected. Grace must rebuild her life from nothing while discovering inner strength she never knew she possessed.
