It’s the early 1990s in the small town of Crossmore, Ireland, and Lucy knows what she’s expected to do. Fall in love with the son of the farmer next door, marry him, pray for children and never, under any circumstances reveal the truth --- that she doesn’t think marriage or motherhood or staying in Crossmore is for her. That the reason she knows this, is because of her close friend, Susannah. For years, Lucy buries her obsession, until one summer, right before graduation, when her friendship with Susannah escalates. Their relationship is both the best and worst thing that’s ever happened to her --- Lucy loves Susannah, but every day, it feels like Crossmore, Lucy’s mother and their social mores are closing in. And when Susannah decides she no longer wants to hide, Lucy must make a devastating choice.
