Darcy Van Aiken is doing just fine. She's an ICU nurse with an "amicable" divorce from her ex-husband, Mike, two great kids, and a prescription for Ritalin. Then her older son, Jeremy, gets engaged to Cami Zander-Brown, the daughter of a wealthy New York family, and her world is suddenly turned upside down. The source of her trouble is not Rose Zander-Brown, Cami's elegant and accomplished mother. Nor is it Guy Zander-Brown, Cami's charismatic and wildly successful literary agent father. Instead, lurking in the shadows of Mike's new life is the beautifully dressed Claudia, a self-described "managed perfectionist."
The plans for the Van Aiken/Vander-Brown wedding are growing more fabulous by the day, and Claudia has usurped Darcy's role in an effort to entrench herself in Mike's life -- and to boost her reputation with the Hamptons crowd.
