Storyline

Emily Sanders is a successful young woman with fabulous job in publishing and great friends. She got to where she is by working hard and always followed a set of self-imposed guidelines referred to as the "Reasons", as in reasons why not to do something that could have consequences in her life. However, when Emily gets involved with a roguishly handsome, two-timing author, she realized that somewhere she took a wrong turn in her life. She now has to get back on track, and once again be heedful of the trustworthy reasons that help her navigate her way through life.

User Reviews

Great Potential!

This show may appear to be a rip-off of Sex and the City, but I think there are a lot of differences in the two shows. I think it is fair to call it a mix of Ally McBeal, Will and Grace, and Sex and the City. Heather Graham was born to play this role and it is a great career move, as it moves her away from the sex bombshell she is known for, and brings a more vulnerable light to her. True, her acting is not as cutting edge as Sarah Jessica Parker, but I see great potential, especially with this role. The show is fun, hip, and clever. I think if a little more cattiness is added we may have a great new hit on our hands. Well done, Heather!
