Red, the protagonist, finds herself in a predicament as she grapples with debt. In her quest to find a solution, she decides to organize a yard sale, selling the gifts received from her past relationships. However, determining the price for these precious tokens becomes a daunting task.

How about the lies told to a boyfriend, or the times of misery that may diminish the value of a jewelry box?

With the help of a mathematician, she creates a complex formula, incorporating 87 variables, to calculate the cost of love.
