Two-time Emmy-nominated writer and award-winning comedian Debbie Kasper tells a hilarious and tender story of how her father brought home a shocking surprise when she was 12. Expecting a puppy, she instead is greeted by a teen-aged hippie who turns out to be her half-sister from a previously unknown first marriage. Her resistance to this new interloper begins with some extremely unwelcoming and hostile behavior, but her WASP-y, affectionless home is soon transformed into something very different.
