Eight brilliant Vassar graduates step into the fast-paced world of 1930s Manhattan, chasing their dreams and searching for love.

As they dazzle at high-society parties and struggle in the workplace, these trailblazing women discover that the future isn't always what they expected, but may be exactly what they need.
