Tammy, who has just lost her job at a fast food restaurant, drives home and finds her husband enjoying a romantic with the neighbor. She packs her very few things and goes to her parents who live three houses away with her grandmother Pearl. Her mother refuses to make a car available in order to drive to Niagara Falls. Her grandmother on the other hand has her own car and enough cash to finance the trip. To not let her go alone, Tammy decides to take her grandmother. But the trip turns out to be tricky. On their way, Tammy finds out that her grandmother has a huge drinking problem - despite her diabetes. Tammy quickly finds herself being her grandmother's babysitter. From searching love at a bar to robbing a restaurant in order to bail her grandmother out, the audience watches Tammy stumbling from slip-up to another.
