PLOT SUMMARY

Four girls, a sheep, a corpse, and a vote that could change everything. What could possibly go wrong?

December 1947, days before the University of Cambridge will vote on whether to allow women to receive degrees. The women’s colleges buzz with anticipation, aware this could change everything for them, but also that the stakes are sky-high. So when Florence accidentally runs over an infamously misogynistic fellow with her bicycle, the choice seems obvious: cover up the manslaughter by any means necessary. After all, what’s hiding a corpse in a cupboard for a few days when weighed against finally getting degrees for Cambridge women? As Florence and her friends Betty, Celia, and Lyla undertake increasing farcical measures to prevent anyone - from the university itself, to a potential love interest - finding out, they reckon with the university’s ingrained prejudices, and question whether one vote can really undo seven centuries of control by grumpy old men. Sometimes, pushing for change can take sisterhood, a little criminal activity, and... a sheep?
