It is spring in Chicago, 1968. Margaret Gruber grew up in the shadow of The Red Menace and turned 21 while looking toward a future that includes The Vietnam War and the Hippie Revolution. In the culture of alcohol, drugs, easy sex, and political unrest, Margaret still lives with her family in a small bungalow on the southwest side of a city tense with racial prejudice and the beginnings of civil unrest while she struggles to come to terms with her dysfunctional family, low self-esteem and feeling of not belonging anywhere and going nowhere fast except down.
