Plot
Gloria and Nick go through a painful breakup. Gloria then spirals through Nick’s past dating history, untangling his web of ex-girlfriends until she discovers the reason for all their issues: Kaylinn, the hottest, most basic ex-girlfriend to ever exist, who not only just took Gloria’s boyfriend, but is about to take her entire story from her, too. Based on Devantez's award-winning 2020 short of the same name.
