'Alison's childhood is a stage on which the fickle behavior of adults is played out and where the catalysts for her development are the opposing forces of passion and indifference. As a young woman she encounters Diane, a gifted rebel from a suburban home whose chafing against conformity has resulted in a prison sentence. Alison arrives to tutor the recalcitrant student and the rest is captivation.'
