Georges's family is fraught with secrecy. When a psychic informs her that her father isn't really dead, as her family has told her, she uncovers more family secrets—and is understandably hesitant to reveal her own secret to her mother. Georges's quirky drawings bring to life her difficult relationship with her secretive mother, her musician girlfriend, and an amusing gang of dogs.
