It’s not turning out to be a great year for Stella. First, she loses her job (even after bopping the company’s editor-in-chief). Then her apartment in New York City is put in jeopardy when her roommate blows their rent. She is forced to return home to her family in the suburbs. While there, she keeps her true intentions hidden and observes how much their lives have changed without her. But how will it all end?
