Emilia Woolf (Academy Award Winner Natalie Portman) wants nothing more than to love and be loved. A As the blushing new bride of a high-powered New York lawyer (Scott Cohen), you'd think she'd have it made. Not so as life has just delivered the young hopeful a crushing blow: they've just lost their newborn daughter, possibly due to Emilia's own carelessness.

She must also shoulder the burden of a dark secret, her father's surreptitious affair with a stripper and cope with the constant interferences of her new husband's angry, jealous ex-wife who does indeed have a reason to be so full of hate ? Emilia & Scott had an affair before the end of her own marriage to Scott. As Emilia struggles to make peace with her bright new stepson William, she's wounded by his insensitivity... yet soon finds their playful exchanges help her develop a sense of humor about her circumstances. Based on bestselling author Ayelet Waldman's novel.
