Tangerine

Obsession intersects two love triangles in this tale of devotion gone wrong. Twisted passion, perceived betrayal, and a fight for survival are written into the exotic, colorful, and dangerous backdrop of 1950s Tangier, Morocco. Alice Shipley and Lucy Mason are introverted college roommates who quickly become best friends. But when Alice finds romance with Tom, odd things happen, ending with a car accident that tears their lives apart. Trying to forget Lucy and their tainted past, Alice marries a man she hardly knows and moves to Tangier—a place that holds the promise of adventure laced with the thrill of danger but that proves too threatening for Alice. Amid her misery in Tangier, Alice is shocked to find Lucy on her doorstep, an unwanted visitor from the past. When Lucy discovers that Alice's marriage is far from happy, she decides to rescue the woman she'd loved in college, once again claiming her as her own. In a relationship characterized by intense loyalty and ardent passion, the price of betrayal and the sacrifice for survival become steep.
