What can help one woman overcome the fears, anxieties, and traumas of a lifetime? Perhaps the music of
Stevie Nicks?
Gypsy (
Sara Rue) is a woman in her mid-twenties who is still emotionally stuck in adolescence; her job (at a drive-through photo processing center) is nothing to write home about, and her one consuming interest in life is the music of
Fleetwood Mac diva
Stevie Nicks.
Gypsy has gone beyond collecting
Stevie's records, and loves to dress up like her idol, belting out her songs in living tribute. One of
Gypsy's only friends is
Clive (
Kett Turton), a goofy goth kid still in his teens who enjoys hanging out in cemeteries, where he and
Gypsy can sing their
Fleetwood Mac favorites for preservation on
Clive's camcorder. One day, while browsing the Internet,
Clive discovers a website advertising a "Night Of 1000 Stevies" at a New York City nightclub, in which any
Stevie Nicks imitator is welcome to take the stage in tribute.
Clive is convinced this is an event
Gypsy cannot miss, but it leaves them with only four days to get their act together and travel from Sandusky, OH, to the Big Apple. In addition,
Gypsy has her own issues to deal with in New York, the city her mother ran off to when she abandoned her family many years ago.
Gypsy 83,
Todd Stephens' first feature after his breakthrough success
Edge of Seventeen, premiered at the
2001 L.A. Outfest, a festival devoted to gay- and lesbian-themed films.
