Two years have passed since Carrie Bradshaw finally bagged John "Mr. Big"
Preston, the man she was always meant to be with. Just as her friend
Charlotte must deal with her young daughter's "terrible two's", Carrie must
deal with her relationship taking a turn for the worse - Big likes to watch
old black-and-white movies on TV and eat take-out food, which prevents
Carrie from feeling like the free-wheeling party girl she used to be.
Meanwhile, Miranda copes with a new boss that can't handle an intelligent,
powerful woman, and Samantha works a public relations angle that gets the
fashionable foursome an all-expense-paid trip to Abu Dhabi.
Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha are each facing a major issue in
their respective lives. Samantha is facing the onset of menopause and is
doing whatever she can to stop that from happening. Miranda has a new
senior partner who does not respect her solely because she's a woman. She
decides to quit her job without an idea of what is to follow. Charlotte is
feeling overwhelmed as a mother as her youngest, Lily, hits her terrible
twos. Samantha also puts it into Charlotte's head that her wonderful but
well endowed nanny, Erin, who walks around bra-less, could possibly be
having an affair with Harry. And Carrie, realizing that with the decision
not to have children means that it is just her and Big as a twosome
forever, does not know if the rut in which she and Big have fallen is a
sign that she and Big as a twosome is not sustainable. Carrie's personal
concerns are heightened as she and Big discuss the concept of scheduled
days apart from each other, and as her latest book of her take on married
life get less than rave reviews. After Samantha runs into old beau, movie
star Smith Jerrod, at his latest movie premiere, Shiekh Khalid, one of the
movie's producers, offers Samantha an all expenses week long luxury trip to
Abu Dhabi to discuss some possible PR work. Samantha accepts on the
condition that she be allowed to bring her "three girls" with her. The four
use the trip to escape from their problems at home. Although none can fully
escape, Carrie faces her issue head on when she runs into a friend from her
past in Abu Dhabi. And all four examine their own lives a little more
closely as they, as women, experience life in a Muslim society up close and
personal.
