In her search to get the haircut she yearns for, a girl discovers a simple room in a nail salon that will give her everything she needs: to feel exactly, uncompromisingly like herself. when she is refused this chance by yet another in a long string of arbitrary rejections, she is driven to mad lengths as she grasps at anything—and anyone—that might help her get what she needs, dragging others along with her on an epic journey of theatrical mayhem.​​​​​
