Hired as "Charlotte York's" (Kristin Davis') divorce attorney as she splits from her first husband "Trey MacDougal" (Kyle MacLachlan), the pair quickly develop feelings for each other!
The couple does need to overcome a few obstacles first before the relationship works, such as "Charlotte's" initial aversion to "Harry's" height, baldness, and hairy body! However, "Charlotte" proves her true love to "Harry" when she converts to Judaism so he can honor his promise to his deceased mother!

A dedicated husband and father, "Harry" turns out to be the perfect husband for "Charlotte"! Just like his on-screen character, Evan Handler also has a heart of gold!
