Sylvia Stride is keen to succeed in the downtown Manhattan law firm where she works, and has been assigned to a crucial sex discrimination case.

Should she renege on her feminist principles by concealing the evidence and forging forward with her career? The dilemma is complicated by her passionate involvement with Han, her superior tasked with the case. Both scarred by arduous family backgrounds, their dysfunctional affair not only challenges Sylvia's professional integrity, but undermines her complex sexuality and risks unravelling the very fabric of her wellbeing.
