On 15 May 1969, Becky Weiss snaps a shoe heel and falls towards an oncoming taxi. She’s caught by a stranger, James Pelay. They realise they both work for The Planet – she in features and he as a night lawyer, checking the stories for liability for libel.
Wendy Philliakos, unhappily married to shipping tycoon Augustine, has been spotted that morning at past three a.m. leaving a house that is not her own. When the story is printed in the paper, Augustine insists she take legal action – and her fate becomes linked with James and Becky’s.
As Wendy’s marriage disintegrates, Becky’s romance is flourishing – but in order to stay completely free to pursue her career in features, she has resolved never to marry. As the court case looms, both women are forced to make difficult choices. Wendy must choose between perjury or losing custody of her son, and Becky must find a way to be with James, or risk losing what they have altogether.
