Ever since the schoolhouse closed down, Cheerilee feels as though she had lost her purpose in life. With what little she still has left on her, she spends her nights drinking her life away and her days nursing the hangovers that follow.

All of that changes when she was suddenly offered a job by her ex-coltfriend: to become the private tutor for his daughter, Fuschia Fresh, and help the filly with her grades.

Reluctantly, Cheerilee accepts it. She does need the money, after all. Plus, all she needs to do is to help a child with her studies, which was something she had years and years of experience in. In other words, this is a job that she was prepared for, a job that she was perfect for.

This is a job that, little did she know, was going to become the most important job of her life.
