Marianne Sägebrecht, the Junoesque heroine of SUGARBABY and BAGDAD CAFE, returns as GI wife and mother Rosalie, who is doing her best to live the American Dream in Stuttgart, Arkansas. You can't help but fall in love with this innocently tacky family, as they pile onto the couch to watch commercials and sing along with the jingles. But Rosalie's credit card bills are catching up to her, and it seems she will be another victim of American consumerism...until she discovers computers and the nascent Internet. Sitting at the keyboard in her negligee, Rosalie conquers the financial big leagues as an unrepentant hacker and con woman extraordinaire. As she beats the system to a pulp, it is deeply satisfying to watch her serve the predatory capitalists with a generous dose of their own medicine.
