Brutally dumped by her girlfriend, Ally is homeless, friendless and jobless...but at least she has Malcolm. Wounded and betrayed, Ally has made off with the one thing she thinks might soothe the pain: Emily's cat. After a long train journey she arrives home to her dad in Sheffield, ready to fold herself up in her duvet and remain on the sofa for the foreseeable. Her dad has other ideas. A phone call later, and Ally is reunited with her first ever beard and friend of old, Jeremy. He too is broken-hearted and living at home again.

Ally Waters er på tærsklen til de 30, og livet går langt fra efter planen. Arbejdsløs og vraget af kæresten Emily, rejser hun hjem til sin far med Emilys kat under armen (katten foretrak alligevel Ally). Hjemme i Sheffield grubler Ally over, hvordan hun kan vinde sin tabte værdighed – og ekskæreste – tilbage. Redningen viser sig i kraft af barndomsvennen Jeremy, som også er ramt af kærestesorger. Sammen beslutter de at få styr på deres liv. Første skridt er at tilmelde sig det lokale halvmaraton – selv om ingen af dem kan løbe længere end ned for enden af vejen uden at kollapse.

Wize is their name, and wise is their game. Laura and Kay Rae Wize are two 30 somethin’ sister-sistas who are glad 30 is not the new 20 because they embrace the wizdom that comes with age. As Black women, we just want to BE our authentic selves, think as individuals to form opinions, and have a sense of self before societal expectations are thrusted upon us. The girl in us has questions but the woman in us needs answers.

Natasha has everything under control, at least that's what her clients think. As a therapist, she has all the answers but when it comes to her personal life, she seriously needs to start taking her own advice. Still living with her ex-girlfriend, Natasha's messy love life is made up of dates and one-night stands. After all, why would you commit to one person, when there is an endless stream of people waiting for you to swipe right? Besides, people always leave.
