Storyline
Strait-laced Princeton University Admissions Officer Portia Nathan is caught off guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by a former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman. After an awkward romantic attraction to Pressman, she arranges for Jeremiah to visit Princeton, where she and a colleague, Corinne, are rivals to succeed the soon-to-retire Dean of Admissions.

“Working on an adaptation is not as satisfying, because it's not your original work: you're interpreting.”
