Groove, style, mojo: whatever name you call it by, Stella Payne (Angela Bassett) has it. Or at least she had it.
Stella was once the grooviest chick in town. Her groove was unsurpassed by no other. Every man wanted her and every woman wanted her too. That's right, she was so groovy she turned totally hetero women into full-blown lesbos. But even a groove like hers could only last for so long before it all came crashing down.
Now she's 40. She overworks herself at her boring suit-and-tie job, her husband Walter (James Pickens Jr.) refuses to fuck her anymore and she drowns herself in drugs and alcohol. Unable to cope with the pain, thoughts of suicide are becoming more and more common. This is the harrowing tale of a woman losing what meant most to her and her subsequent spiral into crippling depression.
Also, Whoopie Goldberg is in it.
