While adopting her surfer alter ego, Florence soon discovers that other less pleasant personalities emerge when confronted with the sight of polka dots. One called Anne Bowman is a tough, "experienced" older lady, while the other, Tylene, is a stereotypical sassy black woman. Blacking out whenever these other personalities take over, Florence becomes increasingly worried that she is responsible for a series of grisly murders. Of course, she is far from the only suspicious character in her oceanside community -- there's B-movie star Bettina Barnes, Swedish exchange student Lars, and Florence's own unnervingly perfect mom.
