Emily's waitressing job is suddenly in jeopardy when the diner is put on the market, and she anxiously wonders how she will pay her half of the mortgage. If that's not enough, the dates she tentatively embarks on don't turn out quite as well as she expected, and the support she seeks from her mother is met with acute disapproval.Emily resolves to put three-year-old Dante first. Her sister Clara and best friend Michelle are her greatest cheerleaders while she works desperately to carve out a sunnier future for herself and her son. In her heart, Emily never stops dreaming of a man to grow old with and a true love to call her own.

Maggie Sullivan is a quirky and ambitious woman who loves her apartment, her cat, and fancy coffee she can't really afford. She has an almost-exciting life in New York where she is carving out a career in publishing - a career she makes a bit more glamorous on Facebook for the benefit of the girls from high school back home. Unfortunately, she also finds herself in love with a man who turns out to be her friend's new husband. This inconvenient fact threatens both her friendship and her professional prospects. As she tries to juggle work, her aging parents back in Buffalo and her ill-fated love interest, she starts to wonder if she's really cut out for the city that never sleeps.
