A 47-year-old prostitute moves back in with her father and returns to high school, where she's tasked with finding out if one of her classmates is mentally retarded.

Jerri lands a lead role in a school play, prompting her stepmother to fall into a destructive pattern.

An awful slur appears on a school-hallway wall, and Jerri "befriends" the number-one suspect when nobody else will. An investigator (Tim Meadows) comes to solve this crime in his own unusual way.

When Jerri has a sudden interest in joining the debate team, she tries out to only find out you have to be incredibly thin to bring out a good argument. So Jerri results into bulimia to get a spot on the team.
