Quick Synopsis

Maya Vargas, the assistant manager at a Value Shop, hopes to get promoted by her 43rd birthday. Although her résumé lacks a college degree, she has a strong history of innovation and customer-focused results. When the promotion goes to a younger, college-educated candidate, Maya decides to show the advertising industry in Madison Avenue that practical experience and street smarts can be just as important as formal education. She aims to prove that it's possible to start a successful new chapter in life, regardless of age.

Detailed Synopsis of Second Act

Value Shop assistant manager Maya Vargas wants only one thing for her 43rd birthday -- a promotion. While her résumé may not scream upper management, her track record certainly does; she is an innovator who listens to her customers and delivers results. When she loses the job to a college-educated candidate, Maya sets out to prove to Madison Avenue that street smarts are as valuable as book smarts -- and it's never too late for a second act.
