Who is Alice? Alice is a middle-class woman, who has a successful career at a company that designs children’s clothes. She is married, with two children, and has a care-free platonic relationship with longtime best friend, Steve (a recent divorcee).
After one fateful night, when Steve gets together with Alice’s 20-something daughter, that friendship is blown apart – quite possibly beyond any hope of repair.
