Georgette George does not know what to make of her brilliant  idealistic roommate  Ann Drayton  and her obsessive disdain for the ruling class into which she was born. She is mortified by Anns romanticization of the underprivileged class  which Georgette herself is hoping college will enable her to escape. After the violent fight that ends their friendship  Georgette wants only to forget Ann and to turn her attention to the troubled runaway kid sister who has reappeared after years on the road. Then  in 1976  Ann is convicted of murder.
