Alicia Crowder, Tovah Feldshuh, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor in a comedic tale of intertwining stories about a motley of characters in NYC’s Village and Maya, the young woman who has come to The Big Apple to find her place in this world.
Maya encounters: a longtime couple who express their affection by bickering; a Texan lass who is forever searching for love, plus her punk son & delusional mother, aka the self-appointed Queen of Egypt. Also in the mix are a hapless therapist, a psychic with a sphynx cat, and others who distract themselves instead of dealing with what's really gnawing at their souls: big questions with no answers.
As Maya settles in, she starts to care about these folks, which leads her through twists and turns to her own self-purpose.
