When smart, successful, twenty-six-year-old Rachel Block loses her way in life, she takes a job as a bartender in her old Brooklyn neighbourhood - much to her parents' chagrin. Until now Rachel has always been the perfect daughter, getting good grades and dating nice Jewish boys. But as her 'quarter-life crisis' begins, she finds herself pulled in new and unexpected directions. One night she meets Hank Powell, an iconoclastic screenwriter twice her age, and finds herself falling head over heels. Suddenly she's reassessing her values, her surroundings and everything she's ever believed about the 'right' kind of relationship. Meanwhile, her interactions with her father have become increasingly strange: he's doing sit-ups and listening to The Strokes. Is he having his own (midlife) crisis? Something's up...and Rachel's convinced it might be her old man's libido. From one of America's smartest and sauciest young writers - a female, Gen X Philip Roth - MY OLD MAN is an outrageous comedy about sex in the city's bawdiest borough.

In Amy Sohn’s smart, sexy, satirical peek into the bedrooms and hearts of Prospect Park West, the lives of four women come together during one long, hot Brooklyn summer.In the park, at the coffee shops, and on the playgrounds of the neighborhood, four women’s lives collide during a hot summer in Brooklyn. The lives of these four Brooklynite women look basic on the outside—but inside, each woman feels a building frustration with life that could burst any second. Frustrated Academy Award–winning actress Melora Leigh, eager to relieve the pressures of raising her adopted toddler, feels the seductive pull of kleptomania; Rebecca Rose, missing her formerly robust sex life of her pre-motherhood days, begins a dangerous flirtation with handsome neighborhood celebrity; Lizzi O’Donnell, a so-called “former” lesbian, wonders why she is still drawn to women despite her sexy husband and adorable baby; and Karen Bryan Shapiro consumes herself with a powerful obsession that is sure to complete her perfect life—snagging the ultimate three-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained, P.S. 321–zoned co-op building. As the women’s paths intertwined (and sometimes collide), each must struggle to keep her man, her sanity...and her playdates.
