Adapted from the popular novel by Judith Rossner follows the sexual awakening of Theresa Dunn (Keaton), who grew up in an Irish-Catholic family with strict ideas about how young women should behave. When an affair with an older, married college professor leaves her feeling desolate, she arrives in New York of the 1970s ready to explore. A teacher of deaf children by day, Theresa becomes a sexual adventuress by night, picking up men for one night stands. She briefly tries to date the kind of good Irish Catholic man her family expects, but finds herself unable to commit to the kinds of relationship he demands. Instead she continues to pursue riskier and riskier sexual encounters.
