It's 1973 in the sleepy Connecticut suburbs and sixteen-year old Zoe Diamond has way more than sex, drugs and rock n' roll on her mind. Her best friend Naomi has threatened to commit suicide, and while Zoe wants to help her, she also wouldn't mind a conversation-starter with their young Hebrew school teacher Rivka Lev, for whom she's developing confusing and intense feelings. Rivka is like no one she's ever met: maddening and inspiring, she challenges Zoe to make worthwhile choices in a world she doesn't totally understand. As Zoe is confronted by these big questions, she realizes that coming close to the edge is easier than she used to believe.
