Sandy Cohen grew up in the Bronx, his Dad was gone, his Mom worked all the time. Sandy came out to California to attend law school at U.C. Berkeley. While there, he met an uptight but beautiful, if a little too refined, undergrad -- Kirsten Nichol. Kirsten, daughter of privilege and California shiksa goddess, found Sandy to be the most exciting man she had ever met. Witty, wild and cool, Sandy brought fun and laughter into Kirsten's life. They lived in a mail truck, traveling the country, living like true bohemians until family circumstances drew Kirsten back into her wealthy Newport Beach family, and Sandy found himself living a life he never imagined, in a mansion on a hill.
It’s been quite a year for Sandy. He’s gone from being a Public Defender to a Corporate Lawyer to having his own private practice in a funky beach bungalow. He orchestrated his son’s return to California, kept his father-in-law out of prison, and attempted to clear his ex-girlfriend/alleged terrorist’s, name. Needless to say, all of this has taken a toll on his seemingly unshakable marriage.
After watching his wife retreat into an alcoholic haze, Sandy orchestrated an intervention which landed Kirsten in an alcohol treatment center for an undesignated amount of time. It may look more like a country club than a rehab center, but when Sandy and Kirsten are told they won’t be able to speak for the next 72 hours while she’s in detox, it quickly becomes evident that this place means business.
