all her life, living off the ample trust fund of her late rock legend father. Molly is carefree and fun-spirited but also can be irresponsible and immature, never having a job or concept of money or working for it. When her manager steals her money, Molly has to do the unthinkable (for her, atleast)...get a job.

After a few unsuccessful interviews and a stint at a department store, Molly finally lands a job. She is hired as a nanny for an uptight nine year old girl named Ray (Dakota Fanning) who's often ignored by her busy, music executive mother (Heather Locklear).
