In this adaptation of Carrie Fisher's semi-autobiographical novel, an actress struggles to kick her drug addiction while coming to terms with her domineering mother.



Suzanne Vale has grown up as the spoiled daughter of famous Hollywood star Doris Mann. Although she has talent, Suzanne can't seem to get out from under her mother's shadow. The two women have grown apart, but they're forced back together again after Suzanne has a near-fatal overdose.

Because of Suzanne's drug problem, the insurers of the film she's working on make her stay with someone who can keep an eye on her during production. As a result, Suzanne winds up moving back home with her mother -- which might not be ideal, considering Doris's addiction to booze.

Despite their differences, the two women wind up helping each other more than either expected.
