For Maggie, it's freedom - money to support her parents and the connections to finally get her novel published.What starts as a professional transaction, quickly becomes a complex psychological dance. As Maggie gains unprecedented access to Ingrid's hard-earned wisdom, Ingrid sees in Maggie a weapon against an industry that's been trying to sideline her.As their relationship intensifies, the rules around aging begin to shift.
