Therese is just an ordinary sales assistant working in a New York department store when a beautiful, alluring woman in her thirties walks up to her counter. Standing there, Therese is wholly unprepared for the first shock of love.

As Therese becomes irresistibly drawn into Carol's world, she soon realizes how much they both stand to lose...
