An already busy OB who begins to perform abortions in a friend's clinic; his neglected wife, a journalist teaching in a small college; her attractive artist colleague, an intense man in a strange, tortured marriage; and the secretive child-woman who was his muse and is now his wife. These four, living in a small town fishbowl complete with its own radical pro-life group, will find - as in a Greek tragedy - that their strengths as much as their weaknesses, lead to their downfall. Fairly graphic sex scenes, and no small measure of both psychological and physical violence.
