3AM Club
After Holly drops her daughter, Allie, off at college, she’s determined to maintain their close relationship while devoting more time to her body care products store. Holly’s single parent devotion has left little time for extracurriculars of her own, so when Peter, a father she met on move-in day, asks her out, her reflex is to say no. Plus she already has a new challenge demanding her attention at work — a popular youth-focussed body care store unexpectedly moves in next store and its corporate store jerk manager, William, belittles Holly’s ‘quaint’ set up. All the while she’s struggling with so-called middle life insomnia and meets some kindred souls in an on-line group.
