Betty, a small town girl from northern New Brunswick, always dreamed to be a winner and to, just like her idol, Joni Mitchell, sing her way out of a backward and violent community. Things worked out differently. Betty's mentally ill mother, her irresponsible sister, and her dangerously violent partner have all swayed her from her goal, making her prisoner of the gloomy melancholic town. Now in her thirties and more disillusioned, Betty works as a waitress in a local diner. Even though she does not sing anymore, she still fantasizes about escaping the mundanities of her everyday life. A series of fatalistic events that start happening become a test of Betty's courage, self-determination and the promise of escape.
