In this rite of passage, Ginny Flowers meets Marsha Fox, Merri Freelove, and Sunny Wheeler; they become college roommates at Morehead State University (KY) during the tumultuous sixties. At times, their quest feels like a baptism in fire and ice. Yet they accept the challenges: the coeds struggle and stumble with courses, dating, sexual assaults, a canoe trip and a sit-in. Confronting the dangers, they forge a lasting friendship, despite taking separate paths as adults. Will their reunion cement their bond, or will it crumble during a crisis?
