Book Club

Celebrity Kidnappings, the Kama Sutra, Russian Mobsters, Congolese Shimmer Frogs...

Book Club is a time to drink wine, to live vicariously through erotic fiction, and pay lip service to one's life goals. The club's founder wants to be a writer but can't find her story. Billie is the virgin mailwoman who doesn't know if she's gay or straight. Ashleigh is the beautiful housewife who can't get pregnant by her philandering husband, and Marissa is the high-powered executive who has sacrificed her own family for a stressful job that makes her miserable.

They meet once a month, updating their dream boards guided by the self-help book du jour, but nothing ever changes. Until Marissa's mysterious sister arrives and shakes the women into action.

What will it take to make their dreams a reality? The disappearance of People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, mass abandonment of smart phones, Korean nacho dogs, and some good old fashioned sex.
