Contemporary
Card sharp and former wild child Hallie Palmer is in college
now–and Bernard Stockton, her legal guardian, has suddenly
appeared during final exams. He’s hysterical about his
recent breakup with his longtime boyfriend, Gil, and wants
to enlist Hallie in a scheme to win Gil back. So Hallie
returns to Cosgrove County, Ohio, for the summer, to her job
as live-in yard person for Bernard and his delightfully
oddball mother, Olivia. Also present are Ottavio, Olivia’s
hot-tempered Italian lover, who’s desperate for a wedding;
Rocky, a chimpanzee who’s one Singapore Sling away from an
AA meeting for primates; and Hallie’s own ever-expanding
family, which she fled as soon as she could slide down the
drainpipe. Around town, folks assume that since Hallie isn’t in jail,
she clearly has no problems of her own and can therefore
tackle theirs. But Hallie has plenty of troubles–a looming
tuition bill, gambling temptations, and an ex-boyfriend
who’s back in town for the summer to upset any potential if
highly unlikely (a girl can dream!) romantic flings. Yet as Hallie and company navigate life’s unexpected paths
of games lost and love found, the real truth begins to
emerge: With friends, family, and a place to call home, your
heart’s desire is always within reach.
