Francie writes the 'Seriously Single' column for the Sunday Press. Nick - the man she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with - has dumped her for an older woman. To say that Francie is annoyed would be a serious understatement. Struggling to deal with the bleak landscape of her new life, Francie signs up for therapy and moves into a shared household with a trio of supposedly swingin' singles. But Francie has a secret. A dirty little secret of nasty revenge. Her nightmare is that one day all will be revealed. That couldn't happen, could it
