Of Hercsville, Long Island's many remarkable ladies, four in particular stand out. Newest in town is Asha, an ambitious young woman with a voracious sexual appetite. Not so licentious, clinical psychologist Penelope is disgusted but the decadent rich and famous--especially Shareeka, a rap star's glamorous wife. None, however, are quite so intriguing as Nancy, a tormented soap opera actress harboring demons from her past. Whether these women begin the story as friends, enemies, or strangers, their lives will all be permanently linked by the end--for better or for worse.
