Jen Marshall is always a bridesmaid at her sisters frequent weddings but she is never the bride, due to the fact she is scared of commitment in sexual relationships.
Jen is struggling in the advertising business and she believes in her talents and knows she can do her job right but she lacks the confidence to commit herself to tasks and fails to wow her boss in the office.
When a promtion is cast her way she begins working extremely hard but fails to impress her boss, and he doesn't give her the promotion because he believes she is not 'stable' enough to do the job correctly.
She then begins drinking heavily and her co-worker Darcy notices this and explains that the boss Tim didn't give her the promotion because he is sexually attracted to her, this being a lie of course this annnoys Jen, who then makes sexual advances on Tim who rejects her as the whole office watches.
Jen, humiliated and enraged attacks Darcy and the two engage in a brawl which results in the office being trashed.
Jen is then fired and she heads back to her apartment but is forced to retreat into a coffee shop-diner type complex when heavy rain begins failling down.
While in the coffee shop she is pestered by a very close teenage couple called Ted and Sophie who begin quizzing Jen on her sex life and current relationship status.
The owner, a drug addled, alcoholic named Don shoo's the couple away and befriends Jen, when she orders a drink, he refuses to do so not because he means to be rude but because he makes his employees do a considerable amount of the work, he then introduces Jen to Paul a waiter of his, Jen and Paul end up getting along very well and agree too meet up again sometime, Jen soon leaves and as she does so notices a waiter Randy, a worker Lewis and Don arguing with each other about movies and teasing Paul because he has a 'crush' on Jen.

When the patients seem more enlightened after treatment from Jen, the medical board decide to promote Jen to a higher form of physciatric work in a teaching hospital, Jen becomes known around the hospital as one of the better physcologists, she starts to get along with the patients but her colleagues being stuck in the shadows and no longer the center of attention at the hospital decide to humiliate Jen so she can lose her job. The colleagues send in an unstable alchoholic to attend a session with Jen, and the two begin to get in an argument which results in the patient insulting Jen, she then begins cursing at him and telling him to fuck off.
The patient leaves and having recorded the whole session gives the tape to the colleagues who edit it so during the recorded session it seems as if Jen was insulting the patient and she was talking about her alchohol problems, when in fact it had been the patient talking of his problems, the colleagues show the tape to the medical board who fire Jen because of her misconduct.
