A resourceful and high-spirited woman deals with financial distress and her asthmatic thirteen-year-old son when his life is gravely complicated by a new friendship with the son of her former drunken and abusive husband.

Jill flees New Smyrna, Florida, and boyfriend Keith, in hopes of a new life as a Miami fashion model in South Beach. With advice and support from drag queens Billee and Mona, she makes it to the top as an international supermodel in only seven weeks. Then, of course, Keith turns up to make trouble.
