In order not to become completely lonely, Tracy, on the advice of her mother, contacts the daughter of her boyfriend, the fun-loving Brooke, her future stepsister. The 30-year-old spin trainer may be a bit wacky, but manages to save Tracy from boredom. As the personified Mistress America Brooke Tracy leads through the city of New York. Brooke also has a crazy plan: she wants to open her own restaurant. Soon, however, Tracy realizes that Brooke is not as much in control of her life as it seems.
