Sydney’s progressive lesbian sister—a suburban mother and half of a power couple—gives her a birthday present that horrifies Sydney: the services of exclusive matchmaker Mitzi Berman. But is the joke on Sydney when she becomes one of Mitzi’s most difficult and nearly “unmatchable” clients? Sydney has typically dated [short-term] rocker/slacker-types. Haven’t we all? There’s something about a guy up on stage with a guitar.

Though attracted to Max she thinks it’s time to get more serious with her personal life. While Sydney has reached professional success, her personal life is not where she expected it to be.
