Evangeline Starr Raybuck and June Keel are high school seniors, best friends going out with best friends. They tell each other everything. After they graduate, things begin to shift. Vangie gets a job waitressing and moves in with Del; June, unable to get a job anywhere but the local factory, moves in with Ray and his older brother Luke. As they become more involved in their lives with their men, they see each other infrequently, but not so seldom that it doesnt become clear to Vangie that theres something dangerous going on, that June has crossed a line with the men in her life that even Vangie would not.
