Joan leaves her tenure-track position on the West Coast to follow her husband to New York. When she takes her rambunctious four-year-old to a playground in Central Park, she stumbles into a surreal world of wealth and privilege.

How much of your integrity would you be willing to sacrifice in order to live a life of luxury among New York City's upper class? This quandary and others are explored in this award-winning play.
