Down the Middle
Meet Karen, an uptight workaholic who lives for her job at a boutique advertising agency; and Aurora, a bohemian trust fund baby who has never had to punch a clock. When Aurora's father, owner of the agency, announces his surprise retirement he leaves the company in the hands of this polar opposite pair. Will these two find a way to work together or will they destroy the "golden goose" that has funded Aurora's shamanic journeys and been Karen's dream job from the beginning?
