self-deceptions.
It's a poignant, insightful story that focuses on the lessons
women learn about themselves and from each other.
MARNIE,
TINA and LEE are in their twenties when they share a house at
Bondi. They're young, driven and ambitious and the buzz and glamour
of Sydney is irresistible and full of promise. Yet each of them
is running away from something.
MARNIE, brought up in the privileged surrounds of Toorak, is intent
on escaping the stifling conservatism of Melbourne. Wild and impetuous,
she has a complex relationship with her father which leaves an
indelible mark on her attitude to men.
Raised in Brisbane by a poor migrant mother, TINA promises herself
she'll own a home on Sydney Harbour by the time she's thirty.
For Tina, the only thing that really matters is proving to the
world that she is someone.
LEE has always dreamt of a showbiz career. Her greatest fear is
to end up like her sisters - living a suffocating life in the
suburbs of Newcastle. She wants so much more than that, and nothing
and no one is going to hold her back - not even Brad who adores
her.
A quarter of a century later Marnie is a successful real estate
developer who still prefers to use men than admit to any need
for them. Tina runs her own investment company for women but,
involved in a difficult relationship with a married man, wonders
if the price she has paid for success is too high. Lee, meanwhile,
sees herself as a failure. Her dreams have been cut cruelly short
and her only hope is to live them again through her daughter.
In their forties now, the three friends find themselves facing
major turning points. And the city has become a much more dangerous
place.
