A quirky, romantic slice of life story as two broke sisters decide to track down their missing father. One of the sisters is a drug addict, in and out of rehab. The other is a painfully shy college student. Their father was a former professional boxer of some sort who went underground because of his own drug use. Their search leads them to two equally opposite men whom they develop feelings for.
