As an employee at a Boston-based financial firm, Kate Reddy struggles daily to balance the demands of her high-powered career with the needs of her husband, Richard, and their two children. When she gets an account that requires frequent trips to New York and her husband gets a new job, Kate finds herself spread even thinner. Complicating Kate's life even more is her new business associate Jack Abelhammer, who throws temptation into the mix.
