Kate Welles is a magazine journalist who's tired of writing the fluff pieces her editor routinely assigns her. She has also just been devastated by the break-up of her relationship with her live-in artist boyfriend, Adam, who wants to see other women. When her editor suggests she write a love/sex column, she jumps at the chance to explore her own ill-fated encounters with the opposite sex as a means to help others navigate the unsteady terrain of relationships. Meanwhile, Kate and Adam begin to spot each other on dates with their respective new love interests in public. They each strive at every opportunity to make the other jealous. However, in so doing, Kate begins to put Adam behind her, and Adam begins to realize that he can't stand seeing Kate with anyone else, and that he will never find another like her.
