Synopsis: Thirty five year old Kate, fund manager at Edwin Foster, is a victim of time famine: she counts seconds like other women count calories. As she hurtles between appointments, through her head spools the crazy tape loop of the working mother's life: must remember client reports, bouncy castles, transatlantic phone call, nativity play, check the Dow Jones, cancel hygienist, squeeze that sagging pelvic floor, make time for sex. Factor in a manipulative nanny, an Australian boss who looks at Kate's breasts as if they're on special offer, a long suffering but definitely suffering husband, her quietly aghast in-laws, her two bundles of joy, and an email lover, and you have a woman juggling so many balls that some day soon something's going to hit the ground.
