Summary

A harried single mother of two young children in London, Ally James is less than thrilled with her lackluster life. Her job marketing marmalade is a yawn fest and the domestic front seems to streak by in a flash of fish sticks and school runs. To top it all off, Ally's ex-husband David seems to have a never-ending roulette wheel of rotating girlfriends, while Ally has endured two meager (and disastrous) dates in as many years. Then there's David's newest arm-candy, Chantal, who is the first flavor-of-the-month to ever meet the kids-that must mean it's serious. Ally's friend Mel is sure she has the solution to the malaise: a Market Yourself dating seminar. It's either the perfect way to find a new man or the first sign of the apocalypse-Ally isn't sure which, but she decides to give it a whirl. What happens next is stranger, and more invigorating, than Ally could ever have imagined. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
