COW [n.]
/ka /

A piece of meat; born to breed; past its sell-by-date; one of the herd.

Three women. A whole world of judgement.

Tara, Cam and Stella are very different women. Yet in a society that sets the agenda, theres something about being a woman that ties invisible bonds between us.

When one extraordinary event rockets Tara to online infamy, their three worlds collide in ways they could never imagine and they discover that one womans catastrophe might just be anothers inspiration.

Through friendship and conflict, difference and likeness, theyll learn to find their own voices.

Because sometimes its OK not to follow the herd.
