Dudley Walker who has recently lost his wife and his business parter -- after both dump him for each other -- is trying to rebuild his own life while coping with his continually changing relationships with his three daughters. The eldest, Amy, is marrying Lenny, a dreadfully dull ophthalmologist. The ambitious and brutally honest middle daughter, Samantha, has taken over Dudley's business and wants to be a partner, and the youngest, Phoebe, a distinctively innocent 16-year-old, is committed to the current love of her life, a young man named Scar. Dennis Dumont is the creative clothing designer who works for Dudley and is the most dependable in the group, the person to whom everyone goes for advice.
