Laura has not been dealing well with all this - she's drinking and smoking too much; her self-esteem and confidence are in free fall.
When Bob dies suddenly - the result of a heart abnormality that goes undetected by an ER physician - Laura is a deer in the headlights. Her intrusive mother, Joan and sister, Kathy step in to fill the vacuum - they pressure Laura to send Dennis to an exclusive private school, and force her to hire a ruthless lawyer, Mel Kaminsky, to file a malpractice lawsuit against the doctor who misdiagnosed Bob. Laura reluctantly agrees, and soon finds herself a celebrity in the school community - the widow of a 9/11 hero.
As Laura struggles to stay afloat in this vortex of deception, she finds that the one person with whom she can connect and communicate is, ironically, Kathy's smart and sensitive husband, Paul. Paul had always had feelings for Laura, going back to when they were in high school together - though at the time Laura barely knew he was alive.
