Maybe Sunshine is a "coming-of-middle age" story about a 40 something rock queen who builds a new band from scratch after the disastrous break-up of her last band a decade earlier. She was a big deal in the 90’s, but now she is 20 years older, 40 pounds heavier, and divorced. She has to compete with ambitious trust fund millennials with skinny jeans and cash to burn.
She must learn how to tweet, text, twerk, hashtag and trend, just to keep up. She has to start from the bottom again, playing crappy gigs, dealing with nymphomaniac, drug addict band mates, a quirky Colombian manager with 5 jobs, his mysterious bodyguard, a Pee Vampire, debauched frienemies, a depressed male gigolo, a cokehead record label executive, vapid models, and clueless heiresses. She must do all this while navigating the new world of older ladydom; like peeing when she sneezes, getting winded from one flight of stairs, amassing as much weight as she does debt, and worst of all: facing her own irrelevance and being called “ma’am”. Lisa handles her new reality with all the grumpiness and sarcasm of a Gen X, quirky, goth-punk, managing to piss off or alienate everyone she meets.
