The Friendship Club brings together four women at crossroads in their lives. Celebrity TV host Marni McGuire, with two marriages behind her, claims to be fine on her own. So does her co-producer Ellen. Marni’s expectant daughter Bella, a lawyer, travels a rocky relationship road. The show’s young intern Sofia becomes involved with a domineering partner. Soon, all four women find themselves carving paths through the forest of dating, marriage, loneliness and love – individually and collectively.
