"For years, Natalie and Babs had been separable. Then Babs does the unthinkable...she gets married! Natalie is a little lost and looking for a new roommate. She ends up with Babs' brother Andy on top of a completely irrational relationship with a drugged up sleazeball who wants to use Natalie's music exec. brother to get his band a contract. Natalie and Babs go around, Natalie and Andy go around, and Natalie's boyfriend ignores her except when he thinks she's being useful. Natalie tries to please everyone, but what she really needs to be doing is taking care of herself..."
