Knickers
Synopsis:
Rita got educated, Shirley met her Valentine and Chris. . .? Chris got a life. Don't get mad. Get rich. Chris did. When Chris finds a porno mag in her son's bedroom, she's shocked. When she gets a phone bill for over four hundred pounds, she's worried. When she puts two and two together and comes up with 0898. . . "Knickers" gently rips the rouched curtains from suburbia's shrouded windows to show just how far a girl's got to go to do what a girl's got to do. a sharp, social satire, it shows the lengths to which one women stretches in her quest for vengeance against the man who wronged her and maps the rocky path which she and her two friends must follow.
