Tracky is a teenage heavy metal fan with an alcoholic mother, a taxi driver father and a best friend who's after the loanshark who's after her father. The father has started a new business as a tour-guide, and his crazy optimism deeply antagonizes his daughter. All day long she sets about sabotaging him - furious that he is unable to solve the fundamental problem in their lives - his alcoholic wife and her alcoholic mother. Throughout the mayhem of the day she grabs onto his coat-tail and will not be shaken.
The result is a chaotic comic odyssey through the streets of a modern city which concludes in a violent epiphany.
