Set in suburban New Jersey in the early 1980s, this potent drama is about a reunion of former college classmates, now in their thirties, at the funeral of a friend who killed herself. These women are prosperous, professional black women who have gone through the 1960s and come out on top in the 1980s. At the wake, they confront the truth about their own lives and about the suicide that has brought them together again. It's a literate, humorous, sensitive look at the lives of contemporary black women.
