2002 年、カリフォルニア州サクラメント。閉塞感溢れる片田舎のカトリック系高校から、大都会ニューヨークへの大学進学を夢見るクリスティン（自称“レディ・バード”）は、高校生最後の 1 年、友達や彼氏や家族について、そして自分の将来について悩んでいた。

David, a struggling comedy writer fresh off from breaking up with his boyfriend, moves from New York City to Sacramento to help his sick mother. Living with his conservative father and much-younger sisters for the first time in ten years, he feels like a stranger in his childhood home. As his mother’s health declines, David frantically tries to extract meaning from this horrible experience and convince everyone (including himself) that he's "doing okay.”
