Set in the late 1950s, this is the story of Evelyn Hall, an English Professor, who goes to Reno to obtain a divorce and put an end to her disastrous 16-year marriage.

Physically, they are remarkably alike and eventually have an affair and begin the struggle to figure out just how a relationship between two women can last.
