Fourteen-year-old Mary Jane lives in 1970s Baltimore, loves to cook with her mother, sings in the church choir, and enjoys the family’s subscription to the Broadway show music record club. Shy and quiet, she happily takes a summer job as a nanny for the daughter of a local doctor, Mr. Cone. A respectable job, says Mary Jane’s mother, in a respectable house.
The house may appear respectable from the outside, but inside it’s chaos: mess on every surface, bumper stickers on the doors, cereal and takeout for dinner. And Mr. Cone is a psychiatrist who will devote the summer to helping a famous rock star get married, so the musician and his TV star wife will now live in the doctor’s house.
Over the summer, Mary Jane introduces her new family to freshly ironed clothes and family dinners, while she herself is introduced to a free world full of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (not to mention group therapy). Her new life will make her question the way her family has lived and will make her reflect on who Mary Jane wants to be in the future.
