Mary (Parker Posey) is a hip 20-something and hostess extraordinaire known for organizing the most trendy and outrageous parties on the New York club scene. When her roommate moves out, she stages an illegal rave to cover her rent, which lands her in jail. Desperate, she calls her godmother, Mrs. Lindendorf, who offers her a way out, a job as a library clerk.
