Laney is an attractive, intelligent suburban wife and devoted mother of two adorable children. She has the perfect husband who plays basketball with the kids in the driveway, a pristine house, and a shiny SUV for carting the children to their next activity. However, just beneath the façade lie depression and disillusionment that send her careening into a secret world of reckless compulsion. Only very real danger will force her to face the painful root of her destructiveness and its crumbling effect on those she loves.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Silverman went fully method, isolating herself from cast and crew between takes. She later said it took months to shake the character.
The film premiered at Sundance the same year as 'Trainwreck,' creating a surreal double feature of Silverman's range that audiences largely ignored.
