The Holmans, like many American families, are struggling to survive in an economically depressed town. Joe, out of work and in denial, and Ellie, unexpectedly pregnant and buried under double-shifts, are sandwiched between his senile father and their uncontrollable teenage daughter, Jackie.

This modern family fairy tale shatters in a single night, as the worlds of drug addition, dementia and deceit collide when Jackie triggers a devastating chain of events that crush her friends and threaten to tear her family apart.

Dark as its subject matter is, SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP is consistently lightened by humor and boundless love.
