Isabelle wraps a picture, flies to her childhood home to pick up Emily, and plans to leave for her place in France. Old wounds between Isabelle and her parents open over Isabelle's lifestyle. It's also apparent that Isabelle's mother Paula is unhappy--with her husband and with her youthful hopes dashed when she became pregnant with Isabelle. Unbeknownst to Isabelle, the co-star of the film she's just made has followed her, checked into a nearby hotel, and wants to begin an affair, although he's married. Can Isabelle sort it out? What's best for Emily? Written by See less
