SYNOPSIS

Scripted by Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall, Banks, Deschanel and Mortimer star as three sisters whose lives are disrupted by their well-meaning brother (Rudd). Banks portrays Miranda, the career-driven single sister who is about to get her big break in journalism after spending years writing about accessories at a fashion magazine. Deschanel, meanwhile plays Natalie, the artistic hipster and bisexual whose flakiness and lies are getting in the way of moving forward with her caring, responsible girlfriend Cindy (Rashida Jones), who is looking to move the relationship towards a more committed place. And Mortimer is Liz, a Park Slope mom who’s too worried about having the perfect life and children to notice that her marriage is falling apart.
