This ensemble comedy is about the inner workings of a high-style magazine owned by Jack Gallo, who has hired his quick-tempered but talented daughter, Maya, to write for the publication. Challenging her at every turn is Nina, a vain and superficial former model. Then there's photographer Elliot, a man who is very popular with his portrait subjects as well as other women. completing the core staff is her father's assistant, Dennis, a glorified secretary who is generally disrespectful to one and all.

Elliott feigns interest in Vicki's foul-mouthed sister, Rhonda (Gina Gershon); Jack installs closed-circuit cameras to keep an eye on everyone from home.

Maya is upset when her father gives tickets to a Royal Shakespeare Company production and a flight to London to Elliott and Nina.

A Woody Allen impersonator (Ed Crasnick) is drawn to Maya after she pens a favorable article about the filmmaker; Jack loses his sight for a day.

Maya's past behavior makes it hard for Jack to get Hannah enrolled in Maya's old school; Elliot and Nina discover they share a fascination with the same blues singer/songwriter.
