Newly separated from her investment banker husband, she chain-smokes in her Jewish immigrant parents' backyard in a New Jersey suburb while she plots her return to the Manhattan social scene.

Teetering on the edge the whole time, with only an opinionated Mama to rein her in, Mila is on a whirlwind quest for love and stability in the urban jungle.
