G.J. Echternkamp tells the story of his relationship with his parents, his mother Cindy (Russo) and his step-father, Frank (Platt). Frank used to be a member of OXO, a band from the '80s whose one hit wonder scored with the song &quotWhirly Girl&quot. Cindy was the ultimate groupie who married Frank and thought life would be glamorous and award shows, but it's not how it turned out.
