 How does a smart, accomplished woman find a "good" man? As any woman knows, it s not easy. In fact, it s downright disturbing, disheartening and disabling. This core mission is the central plot line of IN MEN WE TRUST. When Liza, 26, Emma, 25, and Grace, 33, find themselves on a string of horrific dates, they turn to relationship guru, Mariel Cushing, to steer them to the promised land of worthwhile men. It would seem that Mariel s got the goods - she s a well-studied expert on the subject and she seems to have found the perfect man in handsome Everett Greer. So the ladies enroll in Mariel s relationship seminar: "DATING BOOT CAMP: FIND THE MAN YOU RE SEARCHING FOR." But "tragedy" looms... after the class proceeds through a hilarious dating exercise, it s turned upside down when Mariel herself makes a shocking discovery: she uncovers Everett under covers with a gorgeous young blonde! Outraged and incensed, Mariel uses a pair of handcuffs to keep Everett hostage. After all, she wants answers! Why do men act this way? Then, Everett tells her why men do it - a revelation that shocks her theory on relationships to its very core. Miraculously, Everett insists on a second chance with Mariel, professing his love. Mariel agrees to a second chance, only if Everett submits to becoming her class  guinea pig.  In the episodes that follow, the class and Mariel are rocked by Everett s insights on why men behave the way they do. In the end, the women are forever changed but Mariel must make a choice of whether to forgive Everett, choose a handsome suitor named Jack, or go it alone.
