It's been three months since talented, beautiful, 30-something Daisy checked herself in to a psychiatric hospital. Back in Seattle, her 16-year-old daughter Iris drowns her worries in music, playing guitar with her uncle Curt when he visits. Her mom's troubled boyfriend, Victor, lingers in the apartment, barely holding down a job as a strip club bouncer and drifting through a series of minor flirtations in Daisy's absence. When Iris' slightly older best friend, Remy, becomes the dubious object of Victor's attention, Iris' world begins to unravel, along with her belief that once her mother comes back, everything will be okay. When her birth father appears out of the blue with a proposition, Iris must put her childlike sense of hope to a rather adult test.
