. .

Résumé :
Kate Caldwell is an actress pushing 40 hard. Out of work (again), she leaves New York for Hollywood where her husband has landed a role on the new Law & Order spin-off, The Jury's Out. Kate spends her days negotiating the entertainment biz and her nights worrying about her husband's on-set dalliances. With that kind of drama, Kate is dangerously close to having a mid-life crisis. Luckily, before she goes completely bonkers, Kate is offered a gig on the popular soap opera, Love's Restless Heart. The part of the long-lost daughter suffering from amnesia might win Kate a Daytime Emmy Award. Unfortunately, she soon discovers the truth of the old adage: be careful what you wish for.

Did his wife finally have enough of his philandering and bash him over the head? Was the director trying to cut him out of the show for good? With the help of an old friend and a new handsome stranger, Kate must uncover the truth and save the show. Only then can she get back to saving her marriage...
