For a more detailed rundown of the plot:
- Carter's mother is a comic book fanatic/sci-fi author. Her young beau is a fellow fan she met at the local comic book store (and they fell in love at a comic book convention). By contrast, Carter couldn't think less of genre material, and thinsk her mother's wasting her time by writing the stuff.
- Carter's sister is an Irish dancer, doing a production of Dracula.
- comic book and fantasy references run rampant throughout the piece, from the place names to some of the names of the incidental characters.
I know you couldn't tell this from the synopsis I had to supply to the website, but I was told to keep it brief. Suffice it to say, it's a love story with a heavy genre-geek slant. So it does have something of interest for those not normally into melodramas...or at least, I hope so.
