Inside Diego’s Diner on Highway 99, Lorraine, the eldest of three sisters, attempts to convert the truckers and regional farmers to her religious beliefs while managing the counters and booths. Becky, the youngest, lurches into this scene after a night’s drunken romp. Meanwhile, middle sister Julie is en route on a bus from Las Vegas, where she’s just ended a long career as a Riviera showgirl, when the sisters are called into an obligatory reunion as a prelude to their mother’s impending death. Overshadowing the longstanding tensions between the three women is the unexplained disappearance of their long-absent father from their lives.
