Rosie Cutler, a middle school lunch lady, and TJ Fortune, a outcast student, have an unusual relationship. Mystically-minded and gender ambiguous, TJ recoils into an abandoned warehouse where he builds a massive sculptural shrine from discarded objects and trash. Through a dream Rosie makes intimate contact with a trans-worldly being who she hopes will bridge the gap between real and imagined to reveal truths about our world. Amid the post-industrial decay of the American south, a disparate band of nobodies including fellow lunch ladies, a mortician, a transgender elder, a ministry worker, and a lesbian hospice provider all encounter the otherworldly being through the help of a spiritual medium/phone sex operator. Television monitors, radio frequencies, dreams and orifices all become portals to access this alternate, carnal dimension.
