Plot summary
The film begins with Shelly Gardner, a seasoned showgirl, finding out that her Las Vegas show will be shutting down after 30 years in the next few weeks. With no career and financial backup, Shelly struggles to navigate her path forward.
Shelly's only confidant is her best friend, Annette, a former showgirl. When Annette loses her waitressing job, she moves in with Shelly as they both struggle to pay rent. In desperation, Shelly auditions for a Las Vegas show she once rejected, but is turned down due to her age.
Shelly's younger colleagues, Mary-Anne and Jodie, see her as a maternal figure but are disappointed by her distant attitude. Shelly also has a strained relationship with her daughter, Hannah, who was raised by her grandmother, but tries to reconnect during this time.
As she approaches her last day of work, Shelly is nowhere near figuring out her future plans. The film ends with her performing one last time before she bids farewell to the stage and her career.
