Smart, sexy, and infinitely charming, "Rhode Island Blues" tells the story of Sophia Moore, a loveless and guarded 34-year-old film editor in London who believes that her only living relative is her stormy and wild grandmother Felicity.

All seems fine at first--healthy baby, happy couple--but when they have to decide who'll look after little Kitty, things get complicated....
