Cera will play the role of John, a farmer and chef who is described as being always honest and to the point.
Meanwhile, Beth’s (Schumer) life looks pretty great on paper. Impressive to everyone she grew up with, she makes a good living as a wine distributor. She lives in Manhattan and is in a long term relationship with an attractive, successful guy. But when a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past, her life changes forever. Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become.
