Their next-door neighbor, Tim Haspel, who works as the assistant coach of a girls swim team at UCLA, is about to form a couple when his girlfriend, a talented young writer named Jenny Schecter, moves in after graduating from college in Iowa with the desire to start writing her first novel. Soon, after mixing with Bette and Tina's circle of lesbian friends at a party where Jenny has a brief sexual encounter with Marina Ferrer, an attractive European woman who runs The Planet, their local coffeehouse hangout, Jenny learns that her mid-west university education may not have prepared her for what she will learn about life, lust and love in Los Angeles among the lesbian community.
