Jeliza-Rose, a young girl living in the chaotic environment of Los Angeles, finds herself caught up in a tumultuous life with her junkie parents. Their family’s primary source of income comes from her father’s sporadic rock concerts, while Jeliza-Rose possesses very few belongings, mainly consisting of broken toys and a cherished hardcover edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. As she grapples with the realities of her home life, she spends her days taking care of her parents, even going as far as preparing heroin needles for her father, who often drifts off into unconsciousness in the living room armchair. He manages to instill a sense of hope in Jeliza-Rose, telling her that one day they will escape their troubles and live together in Denmark.
