Smith will bring the character of Jadyn to life, a seemingly ordinary girl next door with a heart of gold. However, Jadyn has never left the United States until now, making her adventure all the more intriguing. As the Social Media Manager for Glow, a renowned skincare company, Jadyn’s life takes a sudden turn for the worse when she is dumped right before Valentine’s Day and on the eve of beginning a new job in another country. Her first day at Glow Beauty proves to be a rough start, but with the help of her new co-workers Brandi (Cassie Clare) and Alex (Miriam-Teak Lee), who are also dealing with recent breakups, she finds the strength to carry on.
Bonded by their shared heartbreak, Jadyn, Brandi, and Alex decide to take revenge on their exes while simultaneously planning for the re-imagined Galentine’s Day soiree.
