paying job to write a screenplay, without consulting her

Mischief Bay is a small, fictitious seaside town off the
coast of Los Angeles. Susan Mallery's description of the
town, shops and restaurants makes it sound like a
wonderful
setting for her new series. Pam, Shannon and Nicole are
good friends, each about ten years apart in age, but all
strong women who love and support each other when life
isn't friendly to one of them, or doesn't seem fair. There
is lots of talk and philosophizing between the ladies
about
life, and they decide that regardless of the phase of life
you are in, every different phase is a starting over
process. You will become totally invested in each of these
characters and their struggles and root for a happy
ending.
