Once a semi-successful actor, Ronnie Lipsick is now a mediocre acting teacher with a depressed husband Cormack, one daughter Norah with cerebral palsy, and another Audrey with a constantly bellicose attitude. Ronnie has poured all her time and energy into Audrey who has the makings of an outstanding actor, but who just wants to go to Nepal and open an orphanage with her loser boyfriend. When Audrey accidentally ends up in a coma, Ronnie sees an opportunity to regain her acting momentum. Meanwhile carpenter Cormack is building cupboards for a business which makes Christian pornography, and Norah is campaigning to pursue para-Olympic fencing.
