In this dark and sometimes silly tale, we follow Miss Teacher – a seemingly sunny, middle-aged woman in arrested development with a predilection for escapism – who is realizing life is not turning out like she expected. Having lost her job, husband, purpose and (sometimes) dignity, she realizes she is not ‘fine’. Miss Teacher knows the party is over and the pressure to keep up this lifetime of pretending is too much to face. So with one fateful bite of cake, she goes on an unwitting trip inside her own head to confront her feelings she spent a lifetime blocking out.
In the fantastical reality of her own mind, Miss Teacher meets an irresistible cast of characters including Dr. Dom, Mistress of Emotions and a spiritualist named Holly who guide her through a so-called ‘Feelings Bootcamp’. Then up to the ultimate battle between Miss Teacher and her greatest agents of escape – Boys and Booze. Will she return from the journey victorious and prepared to accept her feelings and herself once and for all, or is she doomed to spend her remaining years in a Blackout?
