Nancy is a little girl with a big imagination who constantly finds herself daydreaming. Growing up in a small town with separated parents and bullies all around, Nancy's imagination is her only friend. Living with her mother alone, Nancy often escapes into her own world. It is only when career day comes at Nancy's school, and she discovers what her estranged father really does for a living-a chef-that her life changes forever, and maybe not in the way she had imagined.
