Ally is the showrunner of a successful, but waning, reality TV series called Dessert Island. After filming the season's final episode, she is informed that the show will be cancelled. With no social life outside work, Ally decides to take a break and visit her mother in Leavenworth, Washington.
At a bar in her hometown, she runs into an ex-boyfriend, Sean. They spend the night drinking together, and kiss in the car when Sean drops her home. Sean refuses Ally's invitation for sex, and she leaves awkwardly. Later that day, Ally visits Sean's house with the intent to apologize for the incident, but learns that he is getting married that weekend and his family is throwing a party. Ally tries to leave, but Sean's mother Jojo insists she attend the wedding to film it.
Ally learns that Sean's fiancée, Cassidy, is alienated from her parents. She feels suspicious about her, and gets her assistant, Kayla, to dig up information about Cassidy's family. Meanwhile, a streaming platform is interested to renew Dessert Island for another season and wants to interview Ally.
