Songs She Wrote About People She Knows

When Carol begins expressing herself by singing songs she wrote about the people in her life, it immediately alienates her friends and co-workers with one notable exception: her boss Dave, to whom she dedicates the song "Asshole Dave." Inspired by the song, Dave fires Carol with a hefty severance package so she can pursue her music. Dave, in turn, quits his job and picks up a guitar in an attempt to revive his long-abandoned dream of becoming a rock star. The two misfits soon find themselves working with a strange record producer, Silent G , whose work inspires Carol to confront her biggest emotional obstacle: her mother. Unable to find satisfaction, Carol pours her entire severance package into producing a full album that she shares with her "friends" at a special album release party.
