But Tony isn"t the only one waiting for her. There, too, are the once-inseparable friends she left behind, including Willie, the sexy priest who was her first love; Yozo, the class runt turned rich enterpreneur; and her best girlfriend, Barbara, an alcoholic caught in a dead marriage.At first it"s like nothing has changed. but as the excitement of their reunion begins to fade, Gia sees that none of them--including herself--are what they seem.
