A mother has an unexpected outburst at a corporate therapy session for working parents. A couple finally get time to rekindle their relationship and make an ill-advised home movie. A pregnant film director plots revenge on the actress who betrayed her. A woman deliberately causes conflict at her ex's wedding.

These powerful and funny stories illuminate the lives of untamed women. They explore how society wants us to behave - and what happens when we refuse . . .
