He's up for a huge promotion at investment giant Bedrock Capital, but there's one crucial hurdle he must clear first--assuming he can keep the HR department at bay. He's also looking for any string to pull to get his maddeningly indifferent daughter Ginny into Yale. Ellie, his wife, is a newcomer to New York who only wants to fit in, while Daughter #2, the shy Zoey, is happy just to make a new friend, even in the form of the unusual new girl who calls herself a goblin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThings turn upside down when the girls' exclusive school admits its first trans student, only to have her mysteriously disappear.
