A sharp, self-deprecating comedy about surviving the dot-com crash, and yourself.

It's 2001, and tech startups are imploding, taking Marilyn Carr's brand-new telecom job with them. Four months in, unemployed, and saddled with a terrifying Toronto mortgage, panic would be reasonable. Instead, Marilyn finds material.

A glittering consulting contract rescues her: all-expenses-paid travel across the United States, interviews with high-powered executives, and precious U.S. dollars. But America proves stranger than expected, where weather maps erase Canada and everything is supersized, including the culture shock.

Marilyn's gift is her ruthless honesty. She skewers her own insecurities as sharply as everyone else's, saying the things we all think but rarely admit.

As she reinvents herself as a cross-border road warrior, she channels her inner Mary Tyler Moore, determined to make it on her own, mishaps and all.
