Description
One contrary ghost, two women, three triangles, four children: What You Don't Know is a bisexual love story from the Music City, the Blueridge Mountains and the Bay Area.

Chloe, beautiful, whip-smart, flees a difficult childhood and sexual betrayal to the Bay Area where she falls in love with a woman. Afraid of this love, she devotes herself to making money instead. At 29 she moves to Nashville and meets Peter, a producer whose wife Angie recently died. Angie still seems to be around though, quietly coaching Chloe about Peter and helping her twin sister Rosie through grief. Rosie is devastated by the loss of Angie and dislikes Chloe immediately, that is, until she becomes intrigued by her. After Chloe marries Peter, their relationship grows close, displeasing Angie. Chloe realizes she's in love with Rosie, creating yet another triangle. A terrible accident ensues that upends everyone's lives again, but bringing Chloe home to her true desires.
