2 Male 2 Female
Constance is a thirteen-year-old torn by life and stretched between parents, struggling through those daunting rites of passage which none of us finds easy
Things aren't all smooth-sailing for her father, Hank, thirty-nine, who is attempting to provide an anchor for Constance, while also working to get his own life into some kind of order, especially regarding his recent serious relationship with a younger woman, Erin, twenty-six
If Constance has only Hank for guidance, then Hank only has Giovanna, thirty-eight, a tempestuous colleague and genuine friend, with whom Hank has an off and on (chiefly off) affair
This romantic comedy turns on Hank's efforts to find enough room in his life for both Constance and Erin, and achieve the balance and maturity that have, so far, eluded him
Cast also includes 1 girl
