Young Manhattanite Sylvia Mortimer can't help noticing that her friends "put almost as much effort into losing husbands as they once did into finding them." Lauren, the most recent to discard hers, has just had a champagne-fueled divorce party. Although Sylvia is the blissful newlywed of the pack, her husband has started spending weeks away in Paris without her, and has hired a sleek temptress as his assistant.
