Ida needs a shrink; or so her philandering father thinks, and he sends her to a Seattle psychiatrist. Immediately wise to the head games of her new therapist, who she nicknames Siggy or Sig, Ida begins a coming-of-age journey.
At the beginning of her therapy, Ida, whose alter ego is Dora, and her small posse of pals—Little Teena, Ave Maria, and Obsidian—engage in what they call "art attacks" for teen fun and mayhem. But Ida has a secret: she is in love with Obsidian. What's more, whenever she gets close to intimacy or a crisis of deep emotions, Ida faints or loses her voice.
Ida and her friends hatch a plan to secretly record and film Siggy, and Ida intends to make an experimental art film as a tribute. As Sig becomes the target of her teen rage and angst, something goes terribly wrong at a crucial moment—Ida's father suffers an acute heart attack. Her voice lost, a rough cut of her experimental film goes underground viral and unethical media agents are trying to hunt her down to buy the material.
Suddenly, everyone wants what Ida's got—but she's not willing to give it up so easily.
