Nanny returns
Twelve years after the fateful night when Nan was fired, she returns to New York with her husband, HH. Finally settling in to build a permanent home and get her consulting business off the ground, Nan`s plans are derailed by HH`s sudden desire to start a family - and her surpisingly strong resistance to the idea.Matters are further complicated by a late-night, drunken visit from a now fifteen-year-old Grayer, who`s stumbled upon the nanny-cam tape Nan made on her last night in his mother`s
employment - and wants some answers. Racked with guilt and struggling to find a way to help Grayer and his seven-year-old brother, Stilton, through their parents` vicious divorce, Nan finds herself getting sucked into the Upper East Side world of wealth, power and dysfunction all over again.Set against the backdrop of a Manhattan economy cracking along the fault lines, The Nanny Returns plumbs the humour and heartbreak of a community who chose money over love, only to find the money evaporate - and their children ready to tell all.
