The Starter Wife

Molly Kagan seems to have it all. Just before her 10 year anniversary her husband calls to tell her he wants a divorce. The call happens right before her prenup expires and Molly is left on her own without a social life or friends.

Lou has disappeared and the police questions Molly. Sam's past is revealed to Molly over a coffee date as she learns he is homeless. Joan's lie about her sister "Bambi" is catching up with her and Molly helps her out by donning a blonde wig and pretending to be Bambi.

The police brings Sam in for questioning regarding Lou's disappearance and Joan is hurt in a drunken-driving accident.

Molly is happy with Sam, but her other relationships suffer when she tries to get Joan to quit drinking. Meanwhile, the divorce proceedings aren't going well, and Sam begins to feel pressure from Molly to change.

Molly causes a blowup with Joan after reporting her rehab stunt to Pappy. Then she faces a difficult choice between Sam, who wants her back, and Lou, who wants to start a relationship. Meanwhile, problems with the divorce settlement drive Molly to find the strength to claim what's rightfully hers and take charge of her own life.

Following her divorce, Molly Kagan moves into a home of her own, ready to navigate her new life as a single mother and define herself on her own terms.
