The(ir) Blurb...

Mary, a troubled teenager, lives with her mothers Betty and Doris in a nice little house in a nice little suburb with nice neighbours. It's a nice little world populated only by queers. But Mary feels different, alone, an outcast. She is discovering her true feelings: she thinks she's straight. Her doubts are confirmed when she meets Brad, a newcomer from San Francisco. It's love at first sight. What will happen to our sweet Mary? Will Brad steal her heart away? But what will her mothers say?
