Shell-shocked when he learns that his ex-fiancée is getting married, Jake tries to flee the city by scheduling an exotic vacation, but an incoming storm leaves him stranded someplace equally foreign - the suburbs - with Adrian and his family. Meanwhile, when the clown he's hired for his kid's birthday bash doesn't show, Adrian gets Patrick to entertain.
Life moves at a non-stop pace for Jake Phillips, a New-York based publicist-to-the-stars who's the key player at Magnum PR Agency. Handsome, incredibly well-dressed, he's on call 24/7 to meet the needs of his A-list clientele. Whether it's a macho action star caught in an embarrassing clinch, an older actress trying to dump her much-younger (and even more famous) boyfriend, or two warring teen divas - Jake is there to spin the facts and control his client's image, a task that often leads him into unexpectedly funny situations. Complicating his work life even further is his boss, Naomi, a woman in a people profession who frankly can't stand people, and who often uses Jake to act as her go-between when things get too personal with the staff or the clients.
