It stars James Gandolfini, Melissa Leo, and Kristen Stewart.Several years after the car accident that killed their daughter Emily, Lois (Leo) and Doug (Gandolfini) Riley are still feeling the repercussions of her death. Drifting apart in their marriage, they are becoming more and more separated. Lois lives in a world of depression and guilt, never leaving the house and only has a select few people she sees or talks to. Doug is having an affair with a waitress named Vivian.Shortly after Vivian dies of a heart attack, Doug leaves on a business trip in New Orleans. There, he seeks catharsis by going to a strip club, but realizes the road he is going down is rather destructive. However, he ends up meeting 15 year old stripper/prostitute Mallory (Kristen). Reminding him of his daughter, Doug takes her under his wing, trying to help her improve her life, whether she wants him to or not.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Bittersweet Ending:Lois and Doug realize that Mallory can't and won't be a replacement for their daughter. However, they seem to be on better terms and Lois has finally gotten out of the house for the first time in several years. Mallory is still a prostitute. But, it is hinted that there is hope for her in the future as she makes attempts to change herself (the last shot shows her wearing better clothes than her ratty old sweat suit and she gave up smoking).

Dark and Troubled Past: Mallory. Though not all of it is revealed, we at least know that her mom died in a car crash when she was very little, and her assertion that she is "no one's little girl" could imply she is an orphan or suffered from parental neglect/abuse.
