A wealthy man. A working-class woman. A random meeting over a pitcher of gin and tonics. When these worlds collide, a controversial scholar tries to exploit the politics of sexual pursuit. Caustic and wry, this uncompromising Drama pushes the William Kennedy Smith and Mike Tyson trials one step further--Phyllis Nagy gives us both the truth and the lie.
