After losing his job as a paralegal and suffering a panic attack, thirty-something Sam Stein stumbles into an unexpected role — babysitting his psychiatrist’s three lively granddaughters. What begins as a summer arrangement on Martha’s Vineyard turns into something more when Sam becomes entangled in the life of their mother, Dianne — an actress whose once-promising career has stalled and whose marriage to touring rock musician David is quietly fraying.
