Eighteen-year-old aspiring comic Joey just found out his boyfriend has been cheating on him for the past ten months. But what did he expect? Joey was born with an addiction to toxic jerks—something he inherited from his lovably messy, wisecracking, Cuban-American spitfire of a mom (and best friend): 34-year-old Gia. When Gia’s latest non-relationship goes up in flames, the pair’s Bayonne, New Jersey apartment can barely contain their rage. In a misguided attempt at revenge, Joey and Gia inadvertently commit a series of crimes and flee the state, running to the only good man either of them has ever known—Gia’s ex, Marco.
