Elise: a street-smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Jamey: the golden son of a wealthy and powerful East Coast family. They make an unlikely couple. At first theirs is a classic tale of sexual obsession, of wanting something you shouldn't have. But as they get to know each other what started as a challenge gradually transforms into something more like love. An urban, edgy Romeo and Juliet set in 1980s New York.
