Love, money, children ... Life is a risk, however much we try to protect ourselves ... In the late-80s at the beginning of their City careers, Tess and Becky are negotiating the world of high finance and the City. Becky is sharp and clever, and has had an upbringing she will never forget. Tess, meanwhile, was comfortably red in the shires. Supposedly rarities by virtue of their sex, Tess and Becky soon discover that the morality of money is far more important than the issue of gender, and they are faced with hard choices, not least the one presented by biology: children. How they balance the texture of their lives evolves into a tender and unexpected love story.
