As Robert and Sol decide to live together, they face the complications of being “an old gay couple”. Frankie and Grace, their ex-wives start a new venture. They turn into entrepreneurs selling vibrators for senior women. Oh, the brand is named “Vybrant”.
Frankie and Grace turn into BFFs soon and start exploring their new lives. Frankie falls for a neighbour but ends up breaking up with him and gets back to living with Grace. On the other hand, Grace gets married without letting Frankie know a thing about it. This lack of communication leads to some tumultuous events causing the ladies to grow apart.
