Birdie Blackwater, once a popular Native American country singer, has since gone into a downward spiral since her excessive drinking began 10 years ago. Upon moving back to her home reservation, barely clinging onto what little dignity she has left, Birdie is arrested for a barrage of drunken charges after lashing out at tribal police officers during a late-night performance. The next day, tribal courts order Birdie to complete 180 days of wellness therapy and intense probation or face two years in prison. Birdie now finds herself contending with a group of offbeat individuals each week who each posses their own…“Unique” mental limitations.
