Katherine O'Dell is an Irish theater legend turned Hollywood film star. Every moment of her life is a performance, but with age, alcohol, and dimming stardom, however, her grip on reality grows shaky. Fueled by a proud and long-simmering rage, she commits a bizarre crime. As her daughter Norah revisits her mother's celebrated career and bohemian life, she discovers fiercely-kept secrets of long ago--both hers and her mother's--and confronts in turn the secrets of her own sexual and emotional coming-of-age.
