PlotA group of women from diverse backgrounds in Los Angeles find their lives intersecting over the course of a single day, revealing the complexities and challenges they confront both in their personal and professional spheres. Among them is a porn star named Elektra Luxx, who discovers she's pregnant and begins to reassess her life choices and career. Another is Holly Rocket, a colleague and friend of Elektra's, who is grappling with her own insecurities and her complicated feelings for another woman. Meanwhile, a therapist, Maxine McPherson, deals with a revelation about her husband, and a flight attendant, Cora, has a life-altering encounter with a passenger.
The paths of these women continue to cross in unexpected ways as their stories unfold. The narrative weaves in the experience of a young woman named Addy, who is trying to make sense of her relationship with her unpredictable mother. Simultaneously, a bartender named Doris agonizes over a secret she is keeping, which has significant implications for her life. As each woman faces her individual crisis, they all must come to terms with the truth of their situations and make decisions that will affect their futures—choices that are at once humorous, poignant, and revealing of the human condition. The interconnected stories culminate in a partial exploration of the female experience, capturing a snapshot of the drama and comedy inherent in the everyday struggles of trying to keep their lives on track amidst chaos and unexpected turns.
