Steady

Most people value their sexuality. They love dates, romance, being wined and dined. But for administrative assistant Frances Dunson, the constant attention of those around her is something she'd rather avoid. She just wants to be left alone. To ease the pain, she takes to burning herself with cigarettes. The scars are so beautiful. The adrenaline rush makes her feel whole. But all that goes out the window when she meets Lou Pinkham. Suddenly, she's going out to dinner, accepting gifts. All those things she never would have done before. It would seem as if she's been cured of her shy, masochistic demeanor. Then again, maybe not.
