Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Taye Diggs, BACK INTO THE GROOVE is an eight-episode reality series that features three single women in their 40s -- Stephanie 'Steph' Michaels, 41, from Miami; Brooke Mora, 42, from Los Angeles; and Sparkle Hyche, 43, from Atlanta -- who are all stuck in the grind of their everyday lives. Now, they check out of their comfort zones and check into The Groove Hotel, a magical resort on the beautiful island of the Dominican Republic -- where the goal is to rediscover their youth, live joyously, and hopefully find love with men half their age. As the saying goes, "you can't fall in love with someone else until you fall in love with yourself!" At the Groove Hotel, these three women have the opportunity to do both. Whether they find the perfect fling, friendship, true love, or something in between, this is their chance to take charge and break through the double standards older women face every day.
