Synopsis

Christine McPherson's (Saoirse Ronan's) senior year of high school in 2002/03 is presented.

The younger of Larry and Marion McPherson's (Tracy Letts, Laurie Metcalf) two children, Christine outwardly hates most of the aspects of her life:

She hates that they have long endured an existence of barely scraping by, and their situation is even worse now in the poor economy that has led to Larry being laid off and Marion needing to work double shifts as a counselor at a psychiatric hospital just to keep their heads above water, and Christine's big brother Miguel (Jordan Rodrigues) and his girlfriend Shelly Yuhan (Marielle Scott) moving back into the McPhersons' small, already-overcrowded house with one bathroom now for five people.

She hates that what her parents have decided to spend on her within their already tight budget is an expensive Catholic private-school education at Immaculate Heart, solely because Miguel witnessed long ago some violence outside Sacramento High School, where she would have gone otherwise.

At Immaculate Heart, her only friend is the equally-poor Julie Steffans (Beanie Feldstein).

Lady Bird hates living in Sacramento and is determined to attend an Eastern liberal-arts college, preferably one in New York City, using financial aid, rather than attending a California college like nearby UC Davis, for which she would be eligible for an in-state tuition reduction.

Getting into any college is questionable because she puts little effort into her schoolwork despite being bright, except perhaps in math.

But what she hates the most is her strained relationship with her mother Marion, who is always bad cop to Larry's good cop.

Marion and Christine's strained relationship is exacerbated by both being strong-willed people.

Christine believes that her mother might love her because she has to, but doesn't actually like her.

Christine has decided to rename herself "Lady Bird", something she wants everyone to call her from now on.

As Lady Bird goes through some major events her senior year--from discovering a new extracurricular activity which includes boys from neighboring St. Francis Xavier; to testing the waters of dating, possible first love, and the prospect of sex; to wanting to be part of the in-crowd; to truly putting some effort into her short-term post-secondary dreams--she and Marion might only have a short time to express their true love for each other, family or not, before it's too late.
