The Carrot

Sometimes, what a person wants is not exactly what they need. Susan's life is perfect. Perfect image, perfect city, perfect boyfriend. But when her boss dangles the perfect promotion in front of her, she leaps for it and lands in the worst place she can imagine: Home. Taking her frustrations out on everyone in her path, she locks horns with Pete Walsh, an arrogant local businessman. Through explosive and hilarious clashes, Pete challenges her values, blind ambition, skewed conception of love, and ultimately her ignorance; that in the frenzy to achieve her professional goals, she's lost sight of what's really important in life.
