Franny Banks ist zwar ein bisschen chaotisch, aber vor allem witzig, charmant und klug - eigentlich müsste sie alle ihre Ziele erreichen können: Schauspielerin werden, den Durchbruch schaffen, einen Mann fürs Leben finden. Für den Notfall hat sie trotzdem einen Plan B: ihren langjährigen Freund Clark heiraten, Englisch-Lehrerin werden, in einen Vorort ziehen. Doch so langsam läuft ihr "Ultimatum zur Traumverwirklichung" ab. Als sich dann auch noch herausstellt, dass sogar Plan B geplatzt ist, muss Franny umdisponieren. Ihr neues Motto: Lieber jetzt als irgendwann.
