When US-based advertising company Parabola Media buys out a smaller UK ad agency, disgraced maverick ad man Eliott Thurber is transferred to the new London office.

The only problem for Thurber, acrimoniously separated from his English ex-wife, Hannah, is that he hates the UK and its residents.

When he arrives, Thurber discovers he is not heading up the London operations and that the head of the company, Esther Finn, has employed his ex-wife, Hannah, in a bid to get rid of him.
