| Synopsis: |
When successful twenty-nine-year-old Manhattan attorney Emily Haxby ends her happy relationship just as her boyfriend is on the verge of proposing, she can't explain to even her closest friends why she did it. Somewhere beneath her sense of fun, her bravado, and her independent exterior, Emily knows that her break-up with Andrew has less to do with him and more to do with her. Whilst the holiday season looms and Emily contemplates whether she has made a huge mistake the rest of her world begins to unravel.She is assigned, by a boss who can't keep his hands to himself, to a multimillion-dollar lawsuit where she must defend the very values she detests. Grandpa Jack, a charming, feisty octogenarian and the person she cares most about in the world is deteriorating with the onset of Alzheimer's and her emotionally distant father leaves her to cope with this alone. And underneath it all, fading memories of her dead mother continue to remind her that love doesn't last for ever. As Emily takes control of her life and comes to terms with issues she didn't even know she had, she finally realizes that what she wanted was there all along... |
