Cherry Baby

Cherry feels depressed and alone in Omaha. Everyone knows that her husband, Tom, is in Hollywood making a movie. Tom’s semi-biographical web comic–turned–bestselling sensation, Thursday, is the most anticipated movie of the year. What almost no one else knows is that Tom is not coming back. Distance and betrayal have ruined the relationship, and now all Cherry has left is the giant but lovable dog she never wanted and the empty house where they planned to raise their future family. Cherry is particularly annoyed that her husband’s most recognizable character is based on her: “Baby” a memorable, captivating plus-sized woman. Cherry never wanted to see herself depicted on the page or the big screen or be recognizable to strangers everywhere. One night, Cherry goes to see her favorite band and meets her college crush. He seems to be a good pick as Cherry’s rebound, but when he realizes the impact Thursday has on her life, it might be too much for him.
