Bad luck and worse choices-that's Irene. She's been a widow half her life and now splits her time between waitressing at the Rise and Shine café and singing in an oldies cover band. And she's having an affair with a married man-something that even her eclectic, super liberal family can't condone. She'd be the first one to admit she has faults, but she's not a bigot. The genetic pool in her nuclear family spans the globe. And it's not that she's prejudiced against people with disabilities but that doctors and wheelchairs give her the heebie-jeebies. So when a cute guy in a chair keeps showing up in the restaurant, she's clumsy, awkward and strangely drawn. Can Irene let go of the past or is she too emotionally broken to find a future worth the risk?
