When struggling writer and borderline schizophrenic Henry Winter catches his wife in bed with his psychiatrist, the resulting fracas could result in him losing his son Max - and what's left of his sanity. And when his lawyer (paid for by a mysterious benefactor) turns out to be Alix Callahan, a firebrand lesbian poetess now living with her exotic bisexual lover July in a tropical florist's called Green Girls, his chances aren't looking too good. Especially when the tantalising July reveals a history of violence and sexual jealousy that landed her Colombian Indian husband in a maximum security jail in Florida.
