Boyfriend-obsessed Bailey tells three strangers the story of how she came to own her three ex-boyfriends' dogs. She chronicles her time with ladies'-man Went, brooding film student Mitch, and perfect but bland Eric. Bailey initially comes off as eccentric and witty, wooing Went with zippy repartee, but her character gets lost as Mackall allows Bailey's boyfriends to define her.
