Two are seniors; the third is starting graduate school. Each is seeking her own path in both love and work--but all three women, not quite knowing how to use the new freedoms available to them, alternate between supporting and undermining each other in their efforts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Julia, the most conventional of the three, wants the security of her monogamous relationship with Ben but is attracted to other men.
