After her first Californian performance, Nina meets Rafe, an older man who, beyond physical attraction, expresses an even greater interest in her, leading her to imagine the prospect of a relationship.

Nina feels guilty and when she goes on stage, upset, instead of doing a comic monologue, she tells her sad story, that of a child raped by her father, who took advantage of her for eight years.

Nina finds Rafe's love again and, having missed the opportunity on television, after exposing herself publicly, she is in great demand in clubs, where she can continue to express herself freely and succeed in her comedy.

In October 2017, it was announced that Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Common, Beau Bridges, Kate del Castillo, Chace Crawford, Clea DuVall, Jay Mohr, Melonie Diaz, Camryn Manheim, Mindy Sterling and Angelique Cabral had joined the cast of the film, with Eva Vives writing and directing from her screenplay.
