Violet Parry is living the quintessential life of luxury in
the Hollywood Hills with David, her rock-and-roll manager
husband, and her darling toddler, Dot. She has the perfect
life--except that she's deeply unhappy. David expects the
world of Violet but gives little of himself in return. When
she meets Teddy, a roguish small-time bass player, Violet
comes alive, and soon she's risking everything for the
chance to find herself again. Also in the picture are
David's hilariously high-strung sister, Sally, on the prowl
for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the ESPN sportscaster
savant who falls into her trap. For all their recklessness,
Violet and Sally will discover that David and Jeremy have a
few surprises of their own. THIS ONE IS MINE is a
compassionate and wickedly funny satire about our need for
more--and the often disastrous choices we make in the name
of happiness.
