Overweight housewife Francine Fishpaw watches her upper-middle-class family's life crumble in their suburban Baltimore home.

She compounds her daughter's troubles by robbing her blind, constantly deriding her obesity and berating her for befriending her former housecleaner Cuddles Kovinsky.

Francine then descends into alcoholism and depression, exacerbated by her children's behavior.
