According to Variety, the film focuses on a troubled New York couple who enter a witness protection program in Wyoming after witnessing a murder.

As for Parker, she was last seen in “Sex and the City.” She recently joined the cast for “The Ivy Chronicles,” a comedy based on the novel by Karen Quinn.
Final word: Grant and Parker together as an onscreen couple?...

New York -- The Sarah Jessica Parker vehicle "The Ivy Chronicles" is getting a little more devilish.
Warner Bros. has attached Aline Brosh McKenna, the writer of Fox 2000's "The Devil Wears Prada," to pen the script for the single-mom tale.
Parker joined the dramatic comedy last month. The plot centers on an upper-middle-class New York mother is forced to start over after getting divorced and losing her high-powered job in one fell swoop. Based on a novel by Karen Quinn, the project has drawn comparisons to "Prada" as well as to "The Nanny Diaries" and "The Starter Wife."
McKenna most recently penned the Katherine Heigl-toplined romantic comedy "27 Dresses" for Fox 2000, which earned $158 million worldwide. She's also writing the romantic comedy "Still You" for MGM and is reteaming with "Prada" director Daniel Frankel on the working-mother tale "I Don't Know How She Does It" for the Weinstein Co.
Jerry Weintraub is producing.
Parker could make it her first movie after the $150 million success of "Sex and the City."...

After living the high life as columnist Carrie Bradshaw in Sex + The City, actress Sarah Jessica Parker is set to hit rock bottom as a struggling New York single mum in movie mogul Jerry Weintraub's next film.
The Ocean's Eleven producer and the star are tipped to team up in anti-Sex + The City saga The Ivy Chronicles.
In the film, Parker is slated to play a desperate mother who loses a high-powered job and finds herself unable to afford her once-lavish lifestyle, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is an adaptation of Karen Quinn's bestseller of the same name.

Sarah Jessica Parker is deeply in love with New York City. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the “Sex and the City” star is in talks to topline “The Ivy Chronicles,” another comedy set in the Big Apple.
Based on the novel by Karen Quinn, the film centers on Ivy Ames, a wealthy Upper East Side mother who relocates into a cheapo downtown apartment after losing her dream job and getting a divorce.
In a quest for money to feed her children, Ivy opens a business to help upper-middle-class mothers get their kids into New York’s best kindergartens.
Warner Bros. will develop and distribute the project, which does indeed sound like a crossing between “The Devil Wears Prada” and “The Nanny Diaries.”
Besides the big-screen adaptations of “Sex and the City,” Parker recently starred alongside Dennis Quaid and Ellen Page in “Smart People.”...

Taking Carrie Bradshaw to the big screen proved a shrewd move for Sarah Jessica Parker – the Sex and the City movie's so far raked in more than $300 million – and now she's eyeing the role of another single urban professional. The star, 43, is in discussions with Warner Bros. about a screen version of novelist Karen Quinn's The Ivy Chronicles, described by the Hollywood Reporter as an up-to-date take about class and the single woman in Manhattan – though unlike Bradshaw, title character Ivy Ames moves out of the Upper East Side after the double whammy of a job loss and a divorce.
