Nefertiti's dance classes are empty, her performance calendar blank, will she rise above the ashes of a lost dream or pull the duvet over her head and hide?
At one time Nefertiti was a dancer people queued to see, now she runs a belly dancing class in the middle of nowhere and the numbers have dwindled. Disappointed Nefertiti turns to her partner and 'rock' but he has other plans. Dropped like a hot potato Nefertiti tries to pick up the pieces but when you're single on a shoestring with an ego the size of the Himalayas getting up in the morning is as good as it gets.
Her 'rock' turns into an annoying pebble in a shoe, and soon Nefertiti finds herself fighting overall they've built together. She feels alone until she stumbles across a bag lady with a past the locals make up. After fifty-five years of self-absorption Nefertiti finds herself caring for a woman who spends her days singing off-key and despite what people say allows the bag lady to camp in her garden-until her ex steps in.
He wants the bag lady pushed out like a used car and Nefertiti finds herself torn between trying to save her new lodger, and convincing her ex to be reasonable despite him maintaining that she never was.
Will she win her battle, save the bag lady or will she throw in the towel to appease her ex?
