Synopsis

Michelle needs a break. A computer programmer who's fed up by what she sees as the greed of the Neo-Colonial world wide web, and exhausted by a recent breakup, Michelle requests and is granted a month-long sabbatical from her job. She attempts to create a new idea that can improve the lives of many. But then, Michelle meets up with Rocky, an idiosyncratic homeless woman and April, a 3rd-grade teacher by day and a black-clad dyke by afternoon. Each is dealing with her own set of fears. The three women quickly become entangled in a hodge-podge of motherliness and angst.
