Suzanne, a successful realtor living in the suburbs of Washington D.C. with her weatherman husband, Jeff, is on top of the world as she prepares for Christmas, her favorite time of year. Things take a turn, however, when she comes home one day to find her husband brutally murdered. To cope with her overwhelming grief, Suzanne’s colleagues suggest that she takes off from work. In the ensuing days, she tracks down a young stripper named Fantasia with whom Jeff had a long term relationship, and the two begin to bond over their mutual loss. Through her relationship with Fantasia, Suzanne begins to cut loose, joining the stripper on escapades of drugs, clubbing and shoplifting.
