Margaret Rockland is as depressed as the ever present Christmas carols are cheerful when she returns to the Washington DC suburb of her childhood for a reunion. The wild bunch she grew up with have settled into respectable household life. Including insult to harm, her former boyfriend is engaged to essentially the most bourgeois blonde on the East Coast. Margaret reacts by diving right into a consuming and medicines marathon. With two remaining fellow souls, she roams the suburban no man’s land and results in an incomparable journey with kidnapping, extortion, misunderstandings and clumsy violence as primary elements.
