When Mercury is in retrograde, the only guarantee is
anything that can go wrong, will. Penelope
Mercury, an intrepid reporter at the New York
Telegraph, has pounded the pavement for five years from
city borough to borough, carrying out her boss's eccentric
orders to break stories that seem inconsequential to
everyone but him. Finally, she is inches away from being
promoted to her dream job -- covering courtroom drama for
the paper -- but after one spectacularly disastrous day, she
is fired instead. Lena "Lipstick Carcrash" Lipp
encrass has a pretty fabulous life, even by a socialite's
standards, as a top editor at the high fashion magazine
Y. Long lunches with her girlfriends and afternoons
spent shopping at Bergdorf's are all in a day's work. But
when Lena's always indulgent parents abruptly cut off her
cash flow and kick her out of her beloved West Village
duplex for refusing to work for the family business, she is
forced to confront the reality of what it takes to pay the
bills. Dana Gluck, a workaholic lawyer, had been
married for two years to a man who was perfect on paper but
increasingly critical in reality. She hoped that her dreams
of motherhood would be fulfilled soon, which surely would
also fix their marriage problems. Instead, her husband
leaves her for an exchange student/model who, to make
matters worse, promptly gets pregnant. When fate
conspires to have these three very different women move into
the same SoHo apartment building, they soon discover that
having their carefully planned lives fall to pieces might be
the best thing that could have ever happened to them.
