Raising
a teenage daughter in New York City can be a scary proposition.
For a single father in a mid-life crisis it can be outright
dicey. Hank (Kinney) has kept the details of his private
and professional life secret from his teenage daughter,
Constance (Muth) but it hasn’t been hard since her
mother holds primary custody. But when her mother is remarried
and leaves the country for an extended honeymoon, Constance
moves in with her father in his Manhattan apartment. Constance
is a beautiful mass of crazy contradictions with her eating
habits careening between starvation and gorging; she tells
dirty jokes and develops crushes almost daily. Constance
discovers Hank is a successful war and news photographer
and has an occasional girlfriend (Avital). As their worlds
collide, amidst cosmic mood swings, the two rediscover their
father-daughter relationship only to realize that they like
each other as much as they are alike.
