Bette Robinson is a twentysomething Emory graduate who shunned1 her parents' hippie ideals in favor of a high-paying yet excruciatingly boring job at a prestigious2 investment bank. One day, after a particularly condescending3 exchange with her boss (who sends her daily inspirational e-mails), Bette walks out on her job in a huff. After a few weeks of sleeping late, watching Dr. Phil and entertaining her dog Millington, Bette's uncle scores her a job at an up-and-coming public relations firm, where her entire job seems to revolve4 around staying out late partying and providing fodder5 for clandestine6 gossip columns. What follows is one episode after another of Bette climbing up the social ladder at the expense of her friends, family, and the one guy who actually seems worth pursuing.
