Three women confront the compromises they've made for the men they love. Friends and roommates Joy and Annie, both in their thirties, find their lives far from what they envisioned. To make ends meet, they rent their extra bedroom to Theo, who captivates Joy with his charm and affection for their one-eyed cat. When Annie moves in with her boyfriend, Joy and Theo settle into a comfortable routine. However, the arrival of Celine, Theo's stunning girlfriend, sends Joy spiraling into an emotional turmoil as she becomes obsessed with keeping him. Unbeknownst to Joy, Celine's beauty hides her own struggles with shame and self-sabotage stemming from a haunting past. Annie, perplexed by Joy's fixation on Theo, grapples with her own issues, including her need for validation from her commitment-phobic boyfriend. At work, she shines as a natural leader, but when an anonymous letter accuses her supportive boss of misconduct, she faces a moral dilemma about whom to defend. With perceptive humor and heartfelt insight, this narrative explores women's complex relationships—with each other, their mothers, their careers, and the men in their lives. It poses critical questions about why intelligent, compassionate women often tolerate unacceptable behavior and what it takes for them to reclaim their power and autonomy.
