Before she knows it, their troubles are hers, and Letty is caught up in a sequence of bizarre events. Why has a charismatic lesbian politician suddenly disappeared? Why is Lettys gorgeous ex-lover Julia in jail? What has it got to do with the top lesbian singer recently in town? And what is on the videotape that almost costs Letty her life?
