The two ladies meet during their morning commute to work while having a knee-buckling laugh at Marie's expense. They become quick friends even though they are polar opposites and the drama they encounter because of the men in their lives is so real that I had to stop and ask - Has Tina talked to my friends?Marie is in the process of divorcing her husband and falls into the club scene: dressing sexy, staying out all night, and dancing until sweat covers her from head to toe.
