Ardith Law has won an Oscar and lives in a Bel Air mansion, but her thirty-eight-year-old daughter Morgan still resents her for choosing career over motherhood. Morgan works as a plastic surgeon in New York, keeping three thousand miles between herself and her famous mother. When Ardith's companion Bill West leaves for a London film shoot, she hires Josh Gray as her temporary assistant. Josh's rough manner clashes with her polished world until tragedy strikes and draws them together. Meanwhile, Morgan meets celebrated news anchor Ben Ryan, who sweeps her off her feet despite being more than twenty years older. Their romance faces destruction when blackmailers target Ben's career. As both women find themselves in unexpected relationships with younger and older men respectively, they must decide whether to reach across the divide that has separated them for decades.
