Glen Topher tells his ex-wife Aura that their 17-year-old daughter China wants to live with him in New York City, and his ex-girlfriend Maggie says he is a bad father for giving the girl whatever she asks for.

Glen's new series about nurses is set for the fall with no script and no cast, and his production partner Paula is uneasy. The actress Grace Cullen comes to their office unannounced, wanting the lead role. At a party Grace brings him and China to, Glen meets the director Leslie Goodwin, and China, wary of him over media reports, grows interested once they talk.
