The year is 2004. America has lost its innocence, the dot-com bubble burst, grunge is dead, & Seattle tech is dominating the NASDAQ. Far from the silicone & stainless steel glitz of the Emerald City, the sleepy, gray college town of LaBelle, Washington is home to a pair of clingy, twenty-something lovers. Francesca & Kate is the story of their struggles & successes; a story about trauma, life, and the perseverance of queer love in the days before Obergefel.
