Kamille Cooper believes that the best way to stay young is through nips and tucks that keep her lips full, her stomach lean, and even her elbows fashionable. Everyone who knows Kamille thinks she is a success because she has it together emotionally and mentally, but she knows inside otherwise fearing a wrinkle will ruin her.

Nora Perez loves a good time, especially hopping the night clubs every night with a different man in hand. However her age has begun to show on her face and other body parts, with men starting to ignore her. Nora can not live with herself without a man, so she decides, as she nears forty she must recapture the youth she is losing via a face lift and more.

Motherhood, apple pie, work and age have devastated Brenda Harrison's once lithe body. She fears her husband no longer desires her as he increasingly comes home late from work. She decides to reverse the aging process with a nip and a tuck to entice her spouse to come home for nooners.

In DC these three women begin attending plastic surgery 101 with all the modern day treatments to tighten their bodies, help them recapture their lure and beauty, and slow age creep. A cosmetic friendship forms in which each wonders will this be enough to keep men salivating?

These three interwoven subplots concentrate on how much America is into the youth culture, willing as much to destroy one's body to push back the aging line. The three female stars are unique protagonists with different fears and needs, that each one believes cosmetic surgery will cure or at least delay the inevitable. Patrick Sanchez provides a deep harrowing character study of how far someone is willing to go to look young.
