Our delightful protagonist Alex is any woman trying to navigate through the maelstrom of middle age. Her life's menus are eclectic: dating (which you'd agree always has room for some laughs), raising a teenage son whose hormone-driven antics could fill a sitcom by itself, caring for her aging parents (not for the faint-hearted), and maintaining a career that often mirrors her personal chaos.
