Two women are vying for position in one man’s life.  Their greatest fear is each other. But there’s no point taking sides because, as they are about to find out, there are just too many.

The Ex. She managed to keep her divorce amicable by burying past hurts.  It cost her dear, but it’s worth it to see her three daughters so happy.  Now everything is going to change.  Jimmy wants to remarry.  Bea worries about how the girls are going to feel having to share their father.  But it’s not the children’s reaction that shocks her - it’s hers.

The Girlfriend. The only thing she’s done wrong is fall in love with a man she can’t call her own.  His daughters come first.  No matter what.  Try as she might, she can’t seem to get them to like her.  She doesn’t understand.  The divorce wasn’t her fault.  Jimmy swears it was no ones fault, some relationships just break down.  But if that’s the case, how secure is hers?
