Sam is a woman on the run. What started as an innocent search for self-improvement becomes a nightmare at the local Help Store, whose status-obsessed representatives insist on radical alterations to Sam's body image (both natural and surgical), her finances, and her romantic life. Will Sam be seduced by this impossible quest for perfection? Unfolding in Seuss-esque rhymed couplets, this large-cast comedy questions the modern assumption that something's got to be wrong with everyone.
