J.C. Wiatt is a management consultant at Sloane Curtis in New York City, and her weeks run to eighty hours. She expects the people around her to keep that pace. She lives with Steven Buchner, an investment banker as driven as she is, and neither of them wants children. A long-lost cousin dies and leaves her Elizabeth, a baby girl.

At the firm, Fritz Curtis holds out a partnership, CEO Hughes Larrabee wants J.C. on The Food Chain account, and her protégé Ken Arrenberg joins the team.
