Growing up surrounded by gangsters and a dysfunctional family, this is the story of Ashley - a tall comedian who loves William Shatner and hates textured fabrics.

The family have moved home, and Ashley is sworn to secrecy to avoid any repercussions, "the cat is fine, thank you" is the party line. She and her parents are starting all over again on the other side of the city, where Ashley diagnoses her father's problems and inherits a surrogate father, the Captain of the SS Enterprise.
