In this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy, Zadie (Sasheer Zamata, “Saturday Night Live”) goes on an insane weekend getaway with her ex Bradford (Tone Bell, “The Flash”) and his new girlfriend (DeWanda Wise, “She’s Gotta Have It”).

Suddenly jealous, Bradford tries to sabotage Zadie’s budding romance with Aubrey — with hilarious results.
