Beth Humphrey is a middle aged woman living in Burning Bush Texas. One day, while going through menopause, she discovers that the local breast cancer screening unit is closing down due to a lack of funding. Beth is upset as her friend Tess Muldoon, who died from breast cancer three years ago left the center her money and the state was going to match it. Beth then discovers that there was a mix-up when she filed the paperwork and that she had to reapply yearly. She later calls the state health department which tells her that she needs to raise $25,000 within two months to keep the clinic open.
