Melanie Parker is a career-minded architect/Super Mom, taking on the demands of single parenting in 
New York City. Meanwhile, Jack Taylor is a hard-driving newspaper columnist/every-other-weekend Dad, 
challenging the improprieties of City Hall. Having been let down in the past, she has almost given up 
on men, except for the adorable five-year old who calls her Mommy; and he thinks that women are just 
fine... as long as they keep their emotional distance. When they are inadvertently thrown together for 
one chaotic day, the only thing they have in common are identical cellular phones. The last thing they 
need is to get involved with each other's lives, jobs and kids. The last thing they expect is to feel 
an attraction. But the next thing they know, they're falling in love.

==========

Melanie Parker, an architect and mother of Sammy, and Jack Taylor, a newspaper columnist and father of 
Maggie, are both divorced. They meet one morning when overwhelmed Jack is left unexpectedly with Maggie 
and forgets that Melanie was to take her to school. As a result, both children miss their school field 
trip and are stuck with the parents. The two adults project their negative stereotypes of ex-spouses on 
each other, but end up needing to rely on each other to watch the children as each must save his job. 
Humor is added by Sammy's propensity for lodging objects in his nose and Maggie's tendency to wander.
