Nine year old Pearl loves her Dad. He’s fun, he’s silly, he’s outrageous. And he’s single. Pearl knows her way around the Internet much better than her Dad, so she is in charge of his email account. He dictates while she types letters to various women in different parts of the world.

When Clarissa agrees to come during Christmas holidays, Pearl is delighted. But her Dad isn’t so great at having company. Once Clarissa is there, he feels trapped, agitated, and unable to sit still.

As Pearl observes their awkward visit, she sees another side to her Dad that explains why he’s been single all these years.

BRIDE (48), her hardened grandmother, has raised her since she was two. Bride spends her days scrounging in the local dump and her nights entertaining lonely men in her bedroom.

Despite her oppressive living arrangements, Mitsy enrolls in the local Hair Design College. She has no idea that Mitsy plans to finish up and move to Alberta to live with her real mother, GWENDOLINE (33).

One day Mitsy runs into a sleazy smooth talker who convinces her to adopt his old dog; a quick answer to Mitsy’s lonely prayers. Mitsy pays a little price in the form of sex. She does so willingly, and proudly walks home with the prize – a short, chubby, mutt on a leash. This unfortunate dog Crackie starts Mitsy on a journey of love and acceptance, and how you can’t have one without the other.
