When life takes a wayward turn, dive in head first...

Family has always meant everything to Madison. Married to the nation's heartthrob, TV handyman Rich, with two beautiful children, she's always put their needs first. And she's never regretted a second, even if her own career has taken a backseat.

Then, out of the blue, Rich drops a bombshell. He needs some space and he's moving out.

Overwhelmed by this revelation, Madison turns to her tight-knit group of friends for help. Bolstered by their support, Madison decides to dive into the situation head first and find out what's really going on. Even if it means turning detective on her own husband.

And with her own interior-design career about to take off (once her manager stops squashing her bold ideas for his terrible ones, and provided she doesn't get distracted by the new guy in the office), Madison's about to rediscover her own worth.

She's a bombshell, after all...
