Brooklyn's famed community of Area Slope has everything: the sprawling, majestic Prospect Park; acclaimed general population schools; historical brownstones; and intensifying values. The more upwardly mobile New Yorkers discover its virtues, the more that proclaiming a stake in Area Slope becomes a competitive sport. Within the park, the espresso retailers, and the playgrounds of a nearby, four women's lives collide one long, hot Brooklyn summer season. Melora Leigh, a two-time Oscar-winning actress, frustrated with her job and the stresses of increasing her adoptive toddler, seems the seductive draw of kleptomania; Rebecca Rose, lacking the robust sex life of her pre-motherhood times, begins an unhealthy flirtation with a handsome local superstar; Lizzie O'Donnell, a past lesbian (or "hasbian"), amazing things why she is still drawn to women in spite of her captivating husband and adorable kid; and Karen Bryan Shapiro sees herself divided between two powerful obsessions: her four-year-old son's well-being and snagging the best three-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained P.S. 321-zoned co-op building. As the women's pathways intertwine (and sometimes crash), each must battle to keep her man, her sanity, and her play dates.
