PLOT
Susanna is a pushy but seductive rock and roll icon who lives with Beale, a charming, distracted art dealer.

Unnerved by the prospect of middle-aged stasis and drawn to other lovers, the couple eventually separates. Maisie, their only child, is caught in the middle of it all, a flesh-and-blood bargaining tool who winds up being shuttled back and forth between her parents as they each attempt to start their lives afresh with new partners, Lincoln and Margo.

Quietly precocious and a keen observer, Maisie begins to understand how essentially selfish, irresponsible and damaged her parents really are. With time their new relationships disintegrate as well, and Maisie is forced to consider whether or not she should try to construct for herself a whole new family.
