The Breakup Rehearsal

Nina Alvarez makes a living saying the hard thing. At Exit Lines, her tiny Logan Square studio, she plays the boss, the mother or the soon-to-be-ex until her clients can say it for real. Then her newest client, booked as "Wesley," walks in, and he's Theo Bennett, the man who ended their love story with a voicemail five years ago. Now he needs her to play his formidable best friend until he can tell her he wants out of their business, and Nina needs the money too much to say no. As the sessions pile up, each one seems to drift closer to everything the two of them never said, and this time neither of them can hang up.
