The punk lifestyle isn't impervious. Lacy Davis comes to process how despite her punk attitude and lifestyle, she has relied on romantic relationships to gauge her self-worth. When a long-term relationship fails, the degrading voices that have lingered in the back of her head for so many years become monstrous. Lacy can no longer ignore their taunts. This begins Lacy's spiral down into a severe eating disorder that leaves her drifting through life in a daze. A story questioning the definition of "recovery" Lacy tells her story of fighting an uphill battle with anorexia.
