The Ex
Original title: Fast Track
In Manhattan, Sofia, an attorney and Tom, a cook who has a hard time holding a job. When their first child is born, they agree that she’ll be a full-time mom and he’ll get a promotion. When he gets fired, he takes a job in Ohio working at the ad agency where her father is assistant director. Tom’s assigned to report to Chip, a competitive, hard-driving guy who’s in a wheelchair and who’s Sofia’s ex-boyfriend from high school. Chip still carries a torch for her, so he connives to make Tom’s work life miserable. As Tom’s frustrations mount, it may be that Sofia will take Chip’s side.
