Is Phoebe Doyle that crazy girlfriend, or is she just eccentric? A theater major at an Ivy League college in the late 20th Century, Phoebe has been in a long-term romance with the tall, handsome Julian Phillips. She loves Julian, even though they're in an open relationship. As the end of Phoebe's senior year approaches, her mother is released from long term care at a psychiatric hospital. Phoebe and Julian go to see Phoebe's mother, who is being cared for by her older sister on an island off the Maine coast. It's Phoebe's fear that she may inherit the illness that caused her mother's confinement. A friend from college joins Phoebe and Julian on the island and meets a local woman who offers the possibility of a brief affair. Phoebe is confronted with her mother's paranoid delusions and suffers her own trauma during the visit. What will the impact be on her love life with Julian? What can he do to help her when his own neuroses are a source of pleasure?
