What happens when an eccentric, germophobic actress with an excessive need for cleanliness meets her messy match? A very untraditional Opposites-Attract sapphic romance that not even Hollywood—or Shakespeare—could script.

Cordelia Wainwright is a superbly capable actress but a supremely incapable adult, who is plagued by decisions from her past that prevent her from accepting both love and her sexuality.

Aubrey Taylor is a bold and vibrant up-and-coming younger actress, who uses both her legs and patience to teach her mentor that love is not a dirty four-letter word but a beautiful gift.

When Aubrey speaks; Cordelia listens—often with angst, but mostly with humorous results.
