When Barb is enlisted to dump her friend’s boyfriend, Jeff, over the phone, Barb and Jeff embark on their own phone friendship...or could it be more? Barb is a compulsive liar, while Jeff is a bit of a chauvinist pig; their relationship, conveyed entirely through phone conversations, is an entertaining, occasionally mystifying mismatch. The 1970s setting adds a retro flavor.
