Behind the toddler-proof gate of Santa Monica's exclusive
Garden of Happiness, it's the grown-ups who are getting
schooled.
When new preschool parent Justine discovers that the man who
broke her heart back in grad school is a dad in her
daughter's class, she tells herself she's immune to the
superficial charms of the ex she calls "the crapwizard." But
when his presence opens a time tunnel of potent memories
from her life before motherhood, she must find a way to
defuse her old attraction to him before it undermines her
marriage.
Then there's Ruben, rookie stay-at-home dad and standup
comic who quits his day job to pursue his TV-writing dream
on his wife's condition that he take her place among the
"power mommies" on the school committees.
And ruling the sand box with an iron fist is Margaret, whose
ongoing divorce from her dentist-turned-New Age-surfer
husband forces her to rely on her dubious people skills in
order to keep the school that has become the cornerstone of
her identity.
When the new school year kicks off with a flight-risk rabbit
named Ozone, a school secretary in desperate need of a
social filter, and some double-barreled committee recruiting
tactics, it's not all juice and cookies for Justine, Ruben,
and Margaret as they struggle to play nice.
