Alison Reilly works as a legal secretary by day, but she spends her nights banging away on her beautiful blue drum set. Office politics and ill-advised romances rule the halls at work—something Alison steers clear of until the firm hires Joan Stevens as a secretary. Joan is the most intense, most self-confident, and most brash woman who's ever worked at the firm. She's also a stunning beauty that everyone in the office, including Alison, can't help admiring. When Joan goes out on a date with an office services clerk, George Kerns, she returns refusing to talk about the date—and she won't even read the lyrics to a song that George left her. But Allison does read the song, and she's impressed by its clever lyrics. Soon, she's jamming on the drums with George, but their beautiful co-worker continues to invade their minds. Personal and private worlds collide, and Alison, Joan, and George edge toward a dramatic conclusion in Phase.
