Dana was the toast of the art world a hot property. Her latest exhibition bombs and she is admitted to a psychiatric hospital. It may be the safest place for her but her insurance will only pay for ten days. As unlikely friendships and strange alliances develop, Dana draws on the inspiration of American baseball star Darryl Strawberry - he had the sweetest swing.
