Three Women (TV series)

A writer, working on a book about sex in America, is initially told she needs to look at married men to capture the subject matter. However, she wants to look at women in middle America. She convinces three women, all of whom are on a course to radically change their lives, to tell her their stories.

Lina is a woman living in deeply religious middle America in a marriage where her husband refuses to kiss her or be intimate with her anymore. Sloane is a successful woman in a loving but open marriage. Maggie is a young woman who had a relationship with her married high school English teacher, and is still traumatized by it.
