As a child Valerie longs for a hero like her favorite TV character Xena Warrior Princess; as Valerie approaches adulthood, she must grapple with a mysteriously ill mother, the discovery of a clandestine relationship between her teenage stepsister and an older man, a Christian roommate obsessed with home-makeover TV, and the looming memory of a few ex-girlfriends. From a stint selling ice cream on a bicycle in Toronto to a visit to Dolly Parton's theme park, Valerie must figure out how to reconcile her reality with the childlike hope that someone else will save her.
