But when an energetic fitness competitor named Jackie arrives in town — radiating that adorably cheesy ‘80s charm — everything changes. Lou sets her sights on Jackie. The two women quickly bond and, of course, end up in bed together. Lou suggests Jackie try steroids, saying “everyone’s using them anyway,” and Jackie ends up getting a little too enthusiastic about the juice.

Jackie has her eyes set on winning a bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas by any means necessary, but the events she sets in motion unleash an unstoppable avalanche that crushes Lou’s father and the rest of the family.
