Laura (Jenna Fischer), a Long Island dental hygienist, sneaks cigarettes and pounds back beers to cope with her unfaithful husband (Chris O'Donnell), overbearing family, and a brother-in-law (Rob Benedict), who's loved her since high school. Her life really spins out of control when her husband suddenly dies and her 12-year-old son (Daniel Yelsky) tells an outrageous lie at school to impress his new classmates. Laura's going to need a little help to settle into a normal life...or a lot more beer!
