Macarena es una joven abogada con una prometedora carrera en el bufete donde trabaja. Está esperando a que su mentor se jubile para ocupar su puesto y mejorar, sin embargo, su futuro prometedor no será tal cuando irrumpa en escena Antonio, un abogado que acaban de contratar, casado y padre de familia con quien Macarena mantiene una relación de alto voltaje. Antonio, Toni en la intimidad, no está dispuesto a dejar a su mujer y Macarena, cansada de ser la otra, decide dejarlo.

Por otro lado, su madre y su padrastro le piden que se haga cargo de Flor, su hermanastra, ya que ambos se van de misión humanitaria a África y la mejor amiga de Macarena también le pide que acoja en su casa a su madre Paqui, así que Macarena de la noche a la mañana termina compartiendo piso con una niña malcriada y una ama de casa experta en cocina de toda la vida. Para colmo cada dos por tres tiene que ir al colegio por el mal comportamiento de Flor, si bien, lo bueno de ir tanto es que conoce a Álvaro, su profesor, con el que empieza a flirtear por WhatsApp. Macarena está hecha un lío y duda de si estar o no sola, ya que esta parece ser sin duda la mejor opción.

Am I better off alone? …
 
Macarena is a young lawyer with a promising career at a law firm. She is waiting for her mentor to retire to take his position and move up the ladder, however, her promising future doesn’t look so promising when Antonio comes into her world, a newly-hired lawyer, married with kids, with whom Macarena has an intense relationship. Antonio, or Toni as she calls him, is not willing to leave his wife, and Macarena who is tired of being the other woman, decides to leave him.
 
On the other hand, her mother and stepfather ask her to take care of Flor, her stepsister, since they both are leaving on a humanitarian mission to Africa, and Macarena’s best friend also asks her to take in and care for her mother Paqui, So Macarena ends up sharing an apartment with a spoiled girl and an expert cook who has been a housewife all her life. To top it off, every so often she is asked to go to school because of Flor’s bad behavior. She soon realizes that the good thing about visiting the school so much is that she gets to see Alvaro, Flor’s teacher, with whom she begins to flirt with on WhatsApp. Macarena soon begins to wonder if it would be better to just be alone, since this seems to be, without a doubt, the best option.
