A pair of twenty-something friends decide to go through a one-year "starter" marriage so they can practice for the real ones they hope to have later in life... only to let love get in the way.
Mark announces he is going to try a "starter marriage" - a marriage in which he can make all of his mistakes and learn from them, so when he gets married "for real," it will work out.
Trijah agrees it's a good idea, and wants to be his starter wife. Her life is in a rut, she never takes chances, and something big has to change. Trijah daydreams of a "happily ever after" marriage and this could be her chance to get it.
