San Fernando Valley native Iris Hedge left her husband and traded coasts for the job of a lifetime - only to lose it in a New York minute. Now unattached, unemployed, and broke, she dreads her loneliness and imminent credit card bills... Until she's offered an exciting, new gig: spying on a possibly cheating, uptown husband named Steve. Soon Iris is trading her business wardrobe for the stalker chic of sweatpants and dark eyewear, and navigating the hazards of urban surveillance - Central Park's facist dog-walking rules, rejection from exclusive boutiques, and a series of unnatural colors.
