Jessie Montgomery Ally Sheedy is a bratty, hard-partying rich girl in her mid-20s. Her self-indulgent lifestyle, marked by a blatant disregard for rules and for others—including herself—has worn thin on her father, Charles Montgomery Tom Skerritt, a widowed philanthropist who has often spoiled her. When Jessie’s boyfriend Brent Jason Beghe ends things, fed up with her immaturity and lack of values, she barely blinks an eye and moves on. Then a string of events accelerates: Brent’s breakup becomes a flashpoint, and Jessie’s world explodes when she is arrested for drug possession and DWI with a suspended license, even attempting to bribe the arresting officers.
