Billie, a young Iraq War soldier, loses her left hand and is sent home. Billie’s book smart teenage sister, Maxine, with the help of her new imaginary friends - Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - and her mother, Susan, attempt to help Billie, but she refuses to talk about her war experience. When grandmother, Franny moves into the household with her twenty wigs, love for old American musicals, wine coolers and cigarettes, she has a plan for a good-bye party that threatens to tear the family even further apart.
