Dykette

Sasha and Jesse are professionally creative, erotically adventurous, and passionately dysfunctional twentysomethings making a life together in Brooklyn. When a pair of older, richer lesbians – prominent news host Jules Todd and her psychotherapist partner, Miranda – invites Sasha and Jesse to their country home for the holidays, they’re quick to accept. Even if the trip includes a third couple – Jesse’s best friend, Lou, and their cool-girl flame, Darcy – whose It-queer clout Sasha ridicules yet desperately wants.

As the late December afternoons blur together in a haze of debaucherous homecooked feasts and sweaty sauna confessions, so too do the guests’ secret and shifting motivations. When Jesse and Darcy collaborate an ill-fated livestream performance, a complex web of infatuation and jealousy emerges, sending Sasha down a spiral of destructive rage that threatens each couple’s future.
