Set in a little diner in Hollywood in 1962 near the 20th Century Fox studio where Marilyn Monroe is making her last, and ultimately unfinished film, Something’s Got to Give.
Characters from the movie set Evie-Marilyn’s stand in, Walter-the movie’s script writer, Ariel-from the studio’s commissary, mix, mingle, trade barbs, hopes and fears with Denny-the diner’s owner, Em-his elderly hostess, Erica-a waitress, and a self absorbed reporter named Jimmy.
Each are on their own journey of transformation to learn that, to quote Em, “You have to be the answer to your own prayer”.
