Hestia, now thirty, lives an emotionally precarious existence, having lived with boyfriends but never slept with a man. Wearying of the enchantment of virginity and its concomitant dissatisfaction, but quite unable to submit fully to a sexual relationship, she seeks out Daniel, an old gay friend, with whom she is unwisely but inescapably in love. Pushed away into the arms of another man, Hestia suddenly finds herself pregnant, and with no one to turn to but Daniel. This is the powerful story of the tender, stormy union of this mismatched, homesick trio.
