What happens after happily ever after? Alice, a New Yorker who thought she’d never feel at home in L.A., is adapting. It’s not easy raising a 5-year-old daughter while trying to keep a job and make her new house a home. When her attorney husband lands a trophy client – box-office queen Rose Maris – things begin to look up. Then Alex starts working late – a lot. He crunches his paunch into a six-pack and trades his Gap ensembles for Armani everything.

Soon, Rose and Alex’s affair blazes in the tabloids and Alice is plunged into trash-gossip hell. Her life crumbles around her as she navigates her newly single self through the bizarre world of the San Fernando Valley. Is there a chance to wrest Alex from the Sexiest Woman Alive? And if so…would Alice want him back?
