After her husband loses his job, Lucy has to leave behind her posh life in London and settle into a tiny East Village apartment. Now she’s a middle-aged mother in the midst of hipsters, homesick and resentful until she embarks on a new love affair—with New York City and three new friends.

Robyn is constantly compensating for her wunderkind husband who can’t seem to make the transition to adulthood.
