When Julia and Joe Ferraro first met, she was an edgy East Village girl who wrote music reviews for the Village Voice and threw famed parties in a gritty downtown loft with her friends. He was a shy, awkward drama student who followed her around like a lovesick spaniel. Now, many lean years later, Joe’s the star of a hit TV show and the Ferarros are finally living the good life in Manhattan. They have two quirky kids, a grand Upper West Side apartment, a beach house in the Hamptons and Joe has just been nominated for a Golden Globe award. Most importantly, Julia and Joe are still in love. Or so Julia thinks until the fateful evening when she accidentally hears a voicemail on Joe’s phone – a sexy message left by a young woman who clearly isn’t just a friend. Suddenly, Julia, who had settled into a life of comfy clothes and playground committees, is in a tailspin, impulsively checking Joe’s messages, stalking him in cyberspace and showing up unannounced on his sets. Julia’s desperate search forces her to consider the possibility that in the long process of helping Joe become something, she has become a bit of a “nothing,” as her daughter once described her to her class on career day. Now, faced with the looming awards show and the possibility of a destroyed marriage Julia embarks on an accelerated self-improvement routine of Botox, hair-extensions and erotically charged shrink sessions while dodging the sancti-mommies who lie in wait for her at her son’s preschool each day.
