United States of Tara

Tara Gregson is a wife and mother of two children. Tara has dissociative identity disorder (DID). Whenever she is stressed, she transforms into one of her alternate personalities: wild and flirty teenager T; old-fashioned housewife Alice; and male, loud, beer-drinking Vietnam vet Buck. A fifth personality, infantile Gimme, is introduced later in the first season. During the second season of the series a sixth and seventh personality were introduced called Shoshana, she is Tara's "therapist" of sorts, while the seventh personality's name is Chicken; who represents Tara when she was 5 years old. Tara is supported by her husband Max, troubled teenage daughter Kate and gay son Marshall. Her sister, Charmaine, is somewhat promiscuous and not very supportive for Tara, she often expresses doubts about the validity of her sister's disorder. The show is set in Overland Park, Kansas.
