When the inevitable happens at the starting gate of her career, her friends conspire with her closest mate in England to attempt the unheard of: hang her fallen star for the world to see. Slowly, Moxie's earthly allies begin to realize that though everyone must die, not everyone lies down-entirely, that is.
