Jake is a sixteen-year-old girl who likes candy more than anything else. Abandoned by her mother and turned away by her sister (Kristy Swanson), she is stranded until a massage parlour operator (Sandra Bernhard) takes her in. Before long, Jake is doling out "massages" as part of the American Spa family of women, which eventually comes to include her sister too. Everyone's lives have been transformed by Jake's beguiling presence; she is ultimately torn from all sides by people who want her to be a daughter, a sister, a lover.
