KATHLEEN MOLLOY is a forty year old divorced mother of a nineteen year old son. She lives in Toronto and has carved out a place for herself in the business world through years of hard work, inner strength and a little 'luck'. She is the archetypical Irish Catholic woman with a background of religious repression and sexual ignorance. RO CASSIDY is the opposite of everything she thought she knew about men. He has two qualities she likes from their first meeting; he has a deep voice with n easy way of speaking, which immediately puts her at ease, and laugh lines which get a lot of use. With Cassidy to open the door, she embarks on an odyssey of discovery; of her own powerful sensuality, the scope of her own emotions and the joy of being truly loved. But her wonderful summer is overshadowed by suspicion when she realizes that Cassidy's frequent absences coincide with the abduction/murders of three little girls. Her suspicion is reinforced by a police artist sketch of a suspect with an undeniable resemblence to the man in her life. The supporting cast includes her son DAVID, an ambitious young man who has a crush on her best friend COLETTE, a beautiful, talented French/Canadian actress on the brink of stardom. But Colette and David have a secret of their own. Their interwoven stories play out in one short summer.
