If it were easy, men would do it, too. This film follows a Boston-based working mother trying desperately to juggle marriage, children, and a high-stress job.
Kate Reddy devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm. At night, she goes home to her adoring, recently-retrenched architect husband, Richard, and their two young children. It's a non-stop balancing act, the same one that Kate's acerbic best friend and fellow working mother, Allison, performs on a daily basis, and that Kate's super-brainy, child-phobic young junior associate, Momo, fully intends to avoid.
When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he's been hoping for—and both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Complicating matters is Kate's charming new business associate, Jack Abelhammer, who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.
