A Brief Synopsis of Robin’s Blue:

Set against the disco 70’s through the Reagan-era 80’s, when divorce was the norm and casual sex and recreational drugs were ubiquitous. Robin Daniels, a runaway from a violent and emotionally desolate upper middle-class home, repeatedly navigates her world without guidance. After a failed marriage, she discounts love and moves through a series of jobs and men. Failed attempts to live as a kept woman compel her to become a high-class call girl. She searches through experiences and escalating drug use for the one lesson that will resolve her omnipresent question of purpose.
Before AIDS and addiction became household words, Robin’s Blue speaks to a generation that basically raised itself. Robin’s journey takes her from suburban Philadelphia to Miami to the South of France and ultimately to New York City where she is obliged to make peace with the girl inside she left dormant at sixteen.
