Synopsis: People are constantly telling Caroline that the relationship she shares with Jane is a little on the odd side, but, Caroline doesn't want to admit it. After all, Jane is everything to her: friend, lover, even a surogate mother. They met in a Palo Alto bookstore. Caroline had moved west, after the death of her mother, intent on making a new and independent life for herself. Jane, however, had different ideas. As the women grow closer, Caroline discovers that Jane cuts herself with razor blades, sucks her thumb, and claims to have been sexually abused as a child. She finds herself becoming ever more wrapped up in Jane's problems, until her own sanity is threatened.
