The play is described as follows: "Mae’s life is kinda falling apart. Her boyfriend dumped her, she got fired from her job, and she’s moved back home to take care of her dad. As if that weren’t enough, she has this weird rash and a fantasy cowboy just won’t leave her alone. What happens when your life path leads you right over a cliff?"
