I'd grown up thinking life was like one of the dressmaking patterns
Mother bought to sew my clothes. If I followed it, my life would
turn out as perfect as my dresses. I'd meet someone and fall in
love with him. He would love me and take care of me. That's what my
father had done with Mother and me. That's what men did. We would
get married, have children and live a loving life. Somehow it had
all changed, like the clouds - Sheila Horne. It's 1973. As Toronto
loosens up, four young women must navigate the shifting social
currents put in motion by the '60s. Ella realizes everything she
trusted as a child is a lie. Raynie believes marriage is the easy
way out and thinks nothing of having sex with any guy she meets.
Jessie would rather face life stoned, while Meg still desperately
wants a husband and family. But childhood values and friendships
are tested when a car accident sparks a series of life-altering
events.
