I Want You Back is about two 30-somethings named Peter and Emma who have just broken up with their respective partners, Anne and Noah. The two form a friendship over their mutual heartbreaks, but neither one can get over their exes, especially when they’ve both moved on and started dating other people. Obsessed with their exes and the idea that they should still be together, Peter and Emma conspire to sabotage Anne and Noah’s new relationships and eventually win them back.
