Luck has never been a very good friend of Poor Debbie Lee, a middle-aged widow verging on the slippery side of pure insanity, and even when we first meet her can a new type of experimental therapy even come close to curing the side effects of her troubled past. And after all the years of abandonment from those she thought loved her, has this finally caused Debbie to have an epiphany which forces her to realize that she must find love again, and finally overcome her greatest fear of being alone. Nowhere else in the world could that be possible but the wonderful city of Los Angeles.
Yet because of Debbie’s whacky and somewhat off-putting personality that often causes her to make questionable decisions, the many new people she meets in Los Angeles shun her away. Her therapist, people on the highway, and even her only two sons have trouble understanding why she’s such a bitch - I mean why she’s taking such high risks now, until we learn that her husband isn’t really dead, and he’s on his way to Los Angeles to deliver his reconciliation. Then when Debbie discovers the news, her lunacy will erupt tenfold, and she’ll soon devise a madwoman’s plan to befriend luck again, and escape from her problems on an unforgettable vacation to Las Vegas.
