Edie soon finds herself living in Eric's home with his wife and daughter. Of course, Rebecca, the wife, knows the relationship all too well. Rebecca and Eric are in an open relationship, making Edie's stay in their place understandable. The mistress only has to abide by some of the rules set by the wife. As a package deal, Rebecca also expects Edie to be a sort of advisor/babysitter of their child, Akila, who is also black like her.
Edie and Eric were brought up with different images of the world—one has an almost-perfect life while the other is one step away from completely ruining it. Their difference is like looking at two sides of a coin, creating a controversial narrative packed with unrestrained lines and sharp observations.
