Part-time punk singer Irene McCabey moonlights as full-time harbinger of chaos - and her life in Austin is crumbling as a result. When her ex-girlfriend moves to kick her out of their band, Irene receives big news: an estranged grandfather has bequeathed to her a dilapidated house across the country in Pittsburgh. Stalling in the Steel City to forget her woes, Irene enlists a long-lost cousin to assist in a drunken renovation project. As the new-found relatives put their mark on the forgotten family home, cracks in the wild-child's hardened facade begin to show, but when an unexpected visitor comes knocking, Irene must choose between her new-found domestic side and her unquenchable desire for self-destruction.
