Dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker Rachel (Helen Lesnick) moves to San Diego, where her parents now live, in search of a new life and a new love. When her mother, who's adapted quite well to the laid-back California scene, wants to set Rachel up with a woman named Christine, Rachel refuses at first. But after relenting and meeting Christine, she finds herself in a real romance … and that's when Rachel's old flame, Reggie, pops up unexpectedly.
