-
Cassie Sleight is a young woman who has shut down emotionally after being scarred by a sexual encounter in her mid teens. Knowing only that she did not want a life in which men inevitably lead and women follow, Cassie leaves her familiar circle of friends and family in search of a seachange. Having discarded her dreams of international dance championships, she accepts a position on the English staff of the local high school in the seemingly idyllic coastal town of Keimera. There, Cassie meets Mark Talbut, a man struggling to be modern yet threatened by power shifts in the workplace and in society. Cassie's interactions with Mark and the men in his world cause her to assess her reactions both as a woman and a teacher, and the inevitable questions arise. In love, at work, and at play - where do you draw a line? Will Cassie find the courage to come to terms with her past, recover from sexual trauma, and have a healthy relationship? How does a society in which dysfunctional workplaces rife with gender, power, and sexual issues change?
