Leo and Ellen are a thriving couple living in New York, completely absorbed in their demanding careers. Leo, the genius behind a wildly successful website, has found himself surrounded by wealth and formidable choices. On the other hand, Ellen is a committed emergency surgeon, pouring her heart and soul into long shifts to save lives. Their eight-year-old daughter Jackie, played by Sophie Nyweide, often prefers the company of her Filipino nanny, Gloria, over her mother, despite Ellen’s attempts to connect with her.
