[ A woman needs her hive ]

Renée is chasing a dream career, and feels like an imposter.

Flo is hiding a secret shame, and feels like a failure.

As their lives collide over one hot summer, and they ride the chaos of work, sex and love, an unbreakable bond is formed between them.

They might be lost, but they’re not alone – because women stick together.
