and Kate move to Manhattan after twenty-two years of child-raising in the
suburbs. Greg's career is winding down, while Kate's is beginning to offer more

Greg finds on a soul-searching walk in the park: Sylvia, a street-smart canine
(played by an actress) who quickly becomes a major bone of contention between
Greg and Kate. Even with advice from friends and a therapist whose gender is not
readily apparent, the marriage is put into serious jeopardy until, after a
series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to
compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives. Written by A.R.
