Plot summary
Anne Yum grows up near Pittsburgh, where the quiz show Can't Stop the Quiz is her escape from a father who leaves, a mother with a gambling habit, and an older sister, Jenny, who leaves her and the dog behind to chase fame. As an adult Anne is tightly wound, unnoticed at work, and lives alone with Mr. Linguini, still watching the show each night. Her mother flees her nursing home for Macau, and Jenny, unemployed and sleeping in her car, moves in. Jenny secretly records Anne answering questions at speed, and the video goes viral. Ken, a loan shark, tracks Anne down, takes Mr. Linguini, and demands the eighty-thousand-dollar debt Anne's mother owes. Jenny wants Anne to win it on the show.
