Shay Goldstein has worked at her Seattle radio station for nearly a decade. But lately she's been clashing with her new colleague, Dominic Yun - who's fresh off a journalism course and convinced he knows everything about radio.

When the station needs a new concept, Shay proposes 'The Ex Talk', where two exes give relationship advice live on air. Given they already despise each other, Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts.

Their spiky dynamic is an instant hit, and soon 'The Ex Talk' is climbing the charts.

But when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other, is this the start of something amazing - or the end of their careers?
