Description

Harriet Hubbley, interpid lesbian sleuth and gym teacher extraordinaire, is adjusting to being single and the International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in San Francisco seems like the perfect place to start her new life. Indeed, gay friends, an assortment of randy characters, and a young lipstick lesbian keep Harry occupied. Hot movies mix with sex, lies and jealousy to set the stage for an unusual murder. In typical Harriet Hubbley fashion, Harry's investigative urge is matched only by her personal turmoil in this potent West Coast drama.
