While working for them, she becomes entangled with the family's houseguests, a rock star named Jimmy and his movie star wife, Sheba. Mary .J.'s summer is filled with unexpected experiences, forcing her to question her upbringing and challenge societal norms. She navigates complex relationships, witnesses addiction, and finds herself in a world where the lines between right and wrong become blurred.
