      What’s a Park Avenue working mom to do when her troubled son desperately needs a male role model and her husband is a power workaholic? The gutsy heroine of this astute comedy of manners hires a “manny.” Jamie Whitfield, a solid middle-class girl from Middle America, finds herself living in “the Grid,” Manhattan's wealthiest area, where big money and big media collide. She has a big apartment, full-time help with her three children, and a detached attorney husband. However, she lacks a full-time father figure for her struggling nine-year-old son, Dylan. Enter the manny. Initially, the idea of hiring someone to be a role model seems absurd, but one look at Peter Bailey convinces Jamie otherwise. Calm, cool, and charmingly down-to-earth, Peter is irresistible. As a political sex scandal propels Jamie's career as a news producer into overdrive and her husband becomes increasingly erratic, she finds herself in need of grounding. Peter reminds her of her past and what she still misses beneath the high-society glitz. Yet, the question remains: will this new presence stabilize her life, or will he sweep her off her feet?
