Henley Ephron's having a bitch of a fortieth birthday. Between a vanishing husband, being fired from a crappy job, a pile of bills and three lovable (but monstrous) kids, it's no wonder she's at the end of her rope trying to stay sane in Darby, Pennsylvania.
But when she crosses paths with one of Silicon Valley's most powerful female executives, she gets the opportunity of a lifetime. She packs up her broken family and moves them to the other side of the country to sunny California in order to take a job she may or may not be qualified for in the competitive world of geeks, gurus and Stanford grads. Hey, at least there's a lot of single men.
Welcome to the new age of forty. It's time to reboot.
