Story and premise

Carol's Second Act is a comedy about a woman who embarks on a unique second act after raising her children, getting divorced, and retiring from teaching: pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor.

It's her enthusiasm, perspective, and yes, even her age that may be exactly what will make her second act a great success.
