À 24 ans, Dolorès, alias Dolly, se remet difficilement d'une rupture. A vrai dire, elle vit une sorte de crise existentielle. Pourtant, tout devrait bien aller: elle a deux pères formidables, une petite boutique dans le vent qui lui permet de vivre de sa passion pour la mode ainsi que des voisins commerçants fabuleux, avec qui elle forme un groupe tissé serré. Au-delà de certaines décisions discutables, de séances de magasinage thérapeutique et des longues balades en auto au son de playlists rétro, ce sont surtout les conseils de nombreuses figures parentales (dont ceux chantés par Dolly Parton) qui aideront Dolorès à faire la paix avec le passé afin de vivre sa vie comme elle l’entend.
