A neglected 1950’s housewife discovers the delights and degradations of a forbidden love-and is forced to choose between safety and freedom.

When Frances becomes bored with her suburban life and enrolls in a class at the local community college, she doesn’t expect much-but then she meets Blake, a butch lesbian, and everything changes. In thrall to a forbidden world of martini lunches, late nights at queer bars, and a sexual passion she never knew was possible, Frances must choose between the safety of heterosexual marriage or the dangers of life on the edge of society.
