Penny For Your Thoughts

Synopsis:
Penny Ramsey is a wonderful young woman who, like all of us, has different sides to her personality, each one personified by a different Ego. The five Egos make up her decision-making process, which gets a lot more complicated when Penny overhears only one side of her boyfriend Matt's phone conversation and believes he has betrayed her. It's a stressful time for Penny, made even more confusing by the introduction of a potential new suitor named Rick and the nosy involvement of Penny's mother (and Matt's boss) Mrs. Killian. Maybe things could get straightened out if the people in Penny's head could just get along, for once!
