Josephine Magalucci, a young lawyer, has it all brains, beauty, a great job at a law firm in New York City and an adorable boyfriend, Dan, who so wants to marry her. However, Josephine is bored to tears at every turn. Her aspirations for an exciting life creating stories, acting in theatre and making movies was abruptly squashed several years ago by her ever controlling pain in the ass mother, Ro. Matters only get worse for Josephine when she takes a leave of absence from her big city law job, and returns home to New Jersey to assist her ill nutty father, Morty, at his New Jersey law office. The leave of absence allows Morty, a work horse, to catch his breath. Josephine is secretly relieved to leave the monotony of her NYC law job. The excitement quickly ends, when she finds out her father has hired Louie, a family friend and young slick Jersey lawyer, to work with her.
