This is a comedy from the creators of THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB and ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID. This side-splitting romp about marriage and careers introduces us to the Haydens. Career driven Suzannah needs a lot more help on the home front than she's getting from her husband Gibby, a local TV weatherman. Suzannah wants to go for a promotion in the London office of Carmichael's Chocolates, Gibby wants to go for a nap on the sofa. So -- they hire a personal assistant -- a gregarious daughter of the South named Beth. Little do they know, Beth is after Suzannah's job. Throw in a couple of wise-cracking best friends and a British boss lady, and you discover the hazards of hiring a personal assistant can be hilarious.
