In a fit of frustration, Jody Rogers cuts the apron strings of her waitressing career, hoping to jump-start her life.

She quickly discovers that, in addition to a microscopic job market, she'll have to contend with a live-in boyfriend who has someone on the side, parents too happy with their empty nest to let her move home, the "help" of her pothead brother, a best friend who has suddenly developed etiquette Tourette's, and restaurant regulars who can't seem to let go of the past. She's damned to play bridesmaid in a wedding she doesn't want to attend, and has somehow caught the eye of an admirer she can't seem to shake.

In the midst of personal chaos, an invitation to her high school reunion arrives, and Jody must pull the scraps of her life together so she can not only face the music, but dance to it.
