However, in an accident, the fiancé Grindi suddenly died, and the happy event turned into a funeral, and Gray was also desperate for life. The three or five friends of Gridy who helped take care of the funeral, naturally couldn't sit on the sidelines.
So, Gridy’s roommate-the fat pistachio Sam ( Kevin Smith ), the overly responsible( Samuel Heath Jaeger ), as well as the playboy Fratz (Timothy Olivent), whom Grey can't identify with, all decided to stay to comfort her and help her tide over the difficulties. While packing up Gridy's belongings, Grey was surprised to find that her fiance was not only very rich, but he even sent $3,000 a month to a woman named Murray ( Juliette Lewis )!
It turned out that all the things that I thought I knew were not what they seemed to be. The perfect Gridy in her heart has a 4-year-old bastard, and the most unreliable friends are very kind.
