Synopsis

For Manhattan's most affluent parents, the Tuesday after Labour Day marks the beginning of the city's most competitive and vicious blood sport: the start of the private school admissions process. But for Helen Drager, mother of Zoe, it shouldn't be such an ordeal. After all, Helen's best friend Sara is an admissions officer at Zoe's current K-8. But Sara's position becomes precarious, and Helen soon finds herself drawn ever deeper into the mounting lunacy generated by the fierce competition. Perhaps her husband, a television producer for the Cooking Network, can give the director of admission at their first-choice school her own cooking show? As the pressure mounts, will Zoe make the cut? Will her parents survive the process? Any can anyone stop the insanity?
