Synopsis
In New York in the early 1950s, Therese
Belivet, is working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a
more fulfilling life when she meets Carol Aird, an alluring woman
trapped in a failing marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between
them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection
deepens.
When Carol’s involvement with Therese comes to light, Carol's husband
retaliates by challenging her competence as a mother. And as Carol and
Therese take refuge on the road, leaving their respective lives behind, a
confrontation emerges that will test each woman's assumptions about
herself and commitments to one another.
