Flirting With the Deep End

Aside from Michael himself, only two members remain - Gail, a neurotic librarian beset by relationship woes, and Diane, a shoot-from-the-hip waitress who offers no-nonsense advice to her self-absorbed friends

In an effort to put his struggling bookstore on the map, Michael has been vying for the attention of the local newspaper, and they're finally showing interest

As the featured club in a piece on the "book club boom," Michael's hoping his bookstore (and his ego) will garner a much needed boost

Seeing this as his last, best hope, Michael enlists the help of Elliott - a celebrity author in town to promote his latest best-seller - to ensure the evening's success

Unfortunately, Elliott proves a disastrous choice

Unbeknownst to Michael, aside from being Diane's estranged brother, Elliott has just broken Gail's heart and has his sites set on Michael's wife, Christine

Ignoring all red flags, Michael forges ahead-but his carefully choreographed evening of glory turns into a chaotic comedy of errors

This taut comedy about friendship, loyalty, and self-doubt will have you laughing even as you recognize some of the neuroses as your own!
