Her father is being taken advantage of by unwanted house guests and her brother has become reclusive and is suffering from delusions. Meanwhile, Lizzie is struggling to care for the pigeon that her cat almost killed. As the day of the show draws closer and she becomes increasingly stressed, she tries to find the time to finish her work. The cast also includes John Magaro, Judd Hirsch and André Benjamin.
