Except for her post-graduation nose job and mortifying middle name, Sunny Gold's never had secrets … but suddenly she's got a doozy, and she needs to hide it from the press, her parents, and Declan, her new hot cop boyfriend …
But the hush-hush subject has an Asian mobster all up in her business, threatening to shut down her company and possibly cause her bodily harm (something she'd really like to avoid). It's enough to make a nice girl lose her cool.
Sunny Gold works with corpses, for Pete's sake — she's split people open from tail to snout. And she needs to man up because in The Big Stiff, Lurch, the mobster, has stolen one of her clients. With help from her unruly best friend LaShonda, and Lucy, her respected business partner, Sunny sets out to infiltrate the sinister Triad world and steal back the stiff.
If only their relatives would stop getting in the way. Lucy's old world ma, Mrs. Kam, is using ancient Chinese medicine and bizarre Feng Shui tactics to ward off "the evil" — and her feminine wiles to manipulate an elderly Triad kingpin. Meanwhile Sunny's parents, fresh from the commune, organize a bris for their nephew's baby … volunteering Sunny's funeral home for the venue. With an ulterior motive, LaShonda offers to help — and her stance against circumcision, possibly involving picket signs, threatens to blow the whole thing out of the water. Meanwhile, Lurch uses the ladies' wandering attention to slide in and mess up a corpse, again. Now not even Sunny's cat, James Franco, can give her the comfort she needs … especially when she finds out her new boyfriend might not be all that he seems.
With his violence escalating, Lurch is hot on Sunny's heels. And suddenly he's no longer hunting for ransom, he's hunting for her …
Through the wealthy streets of Palm Springs, around its hidden, seedy underbelly, and up into the barren desert hills, Sunny Gold is running for her life.
