A black comedy about four young women - shy Iris (Collette), brash Margaret (Posey), wannabe starlet Paula (Kudrow), and pampered Jane (Ubach) - who become fast friends while temping at a big company where looking busy is a full time occupation. But when their boss hires a new assistant, their jobs - and their friendship - are suddenly in danger.
