Mingus Browning is a successful, young, beautiful lawyer whose life is falling apart. After a thirty-five-year marriage, Mingus's African American father has left her Irish mother for a black woman, and Mingus may have to defend her mother in devorce proceedings. Mingus's relationship with her older sister Eva is marked by an intense sibling rivalry and Eva is intent on ruining her sister's life. Making everything worse, Mingus's boyfriend has just left her. That's when Mingus meets Eric, a smooth talking local television producer in his early forties who challenges her reluctance to love again. But when Eva gets a job as Eric's new assistant and starts to fall for Eric herself, Mingus is forced to choose between her sister, the man she loves, and the truth. At the same time, Mingus is forced to examine her biracial roots as never before, and uncover her real feelings about her white mother, and her influence on Mingus's life.
