Muriel Heslop is an outsider in Porpoise Spit, the oppressively ordinary seaside resort where she lives with her large family. It's a suburban wonderland of shopping malls, marine parks and Tupperware parties. Living in her fantasy world of popular music and bridal catalogues, Muriel waits for Prince Charming to come and rescue her from her bullying father, her petty girlfriends and the claustrophobic atmosphere of small town morality. But her prince is slow to arrive, so she heads to Sydney to find him herself...
