Everybody knows that Cherry's husband, Tom, is in Hollywood making a movie. Almost nobody knows that he isn't coming home. Tom is the creator of "Thursday," semi-autobiographical webcomic, turned bestselling graphic novel, turned international phenomenon.

Semi-autobiographical means there's a character in this movie based on Cherry: "Baby." Wide-hipped, heavy-chested, double-chinned Baby. Cherry never wanted this. No fat woman wants to see herself caricatured on the page let alone on the big screen, but there's no getting away from it. Baby looks so much like Cherry that strangers recognize Cherry at the grocery store.

While her soon-to-be ex-husband is in Los Angeles getting rich and famous and being the internet's latest boyfriend, Cherry is stuck in Omaha taking care of the dog he always wanted and the house they were going to raise a family in—and wondering who she's supposed to be without him.
