| Summary: |
Low Morrison is not your average 18-year-old. You could blame her hippie parents and their polyamorous communal living arrangement or her looming height (she's 6'1") or her dreary, isolated hometown on an island in the Pacific Northwest. But whatever the reason, Low doesn't fit in here. And neither does Freya, a once-famous social media influencer who now owns a pottery studio in town. After signing up for a class, Low quickly falls under Freya's spell, and buoyed by Low's adoration, Freya shares her darkest secrets and deepest desires. Finally Low feels a sense of belonging. That is, until Jamie walks through the studio door. Desperate for a baby, she and her husband have moved to the island in the hopes that their healthy new environment will result in a pregnancy. Freya and Jamie become fast friends, as do their husbands, leaving Low alone once again. Then one night, after a boozy dinner party, Freya orchestrates a couples' swap. It should have been a harmless fling between consenting adults, one night of debauchery that they would put behind them, but when one of the women becomes pregnant and the other realizes that her own husband may be the baby's father, Low finds the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment. |
