Simple Story Underlying Theme

Here is the somewhat simple story:

A beautiful young woman, Adair, leaves her loving Nebraska family and community to go to NYC. There, she meets a woman named Ghislaine.

This somewhat simple story is motivated by an underlying theme, or concern.

The concern is what happened at the Mannahattas address of 9 East 71st Street is coextensive with what happened dang near everywhere in the U.S.A. — and globally.

It was normal.

In other words, nothing happened at 9 East 71st Street can be considered abnormal, aberrant, perverse, or criminal. Or kinky, or quirky, or particularly exciting.

Nothing was, as lawyers sometimes say, actionable.
