A wry, character-driven family comedy-drama that finds both humor and heartache in the messy, neurotic lives of four women navigating love, self-image, and belonging.

An intimate family portrait of four hapless but resilient women and the bittersweet lessons they learn in keeping up with the hectic demands of their individual neuroses. Each of the women seeks redemption in her own haphazard way, but whatever salvation they find is illusory and short-lived.
