It's Marcella's birthday and this year she's determined to turn over a new leaf. But first she has to work out whose bed she's in and why she's covered in fried chicken.

Then there's the speech she's due to give about her life as a successful actress... The only problem is, she's not a successful actress.

This is the story of a hapless 30 year-old doing her very best to muddle through life with the help of her mates, a life coach, several shots of vodka and the driving instructor who can't seem to avoid her.
