When 16-year old Martina Fiasconi unwittingly crosses the threshold of taboo she ignites a slow burning obsession that flares out of control, for even in the bohemian atmosphere of the Fiasconi household, where the lines of convention were so often blurred, the exotically beautiful Martina could not have imagined her father, Dr. Martino Fiasconi, an eminent university professor, would become the person she feared the most. Set in 1975 in the fictional New England town of Millborough, Unintended Consequences is a psychological drama that explores the complex and unconventional relationship between a daughter with a naive sense of duty and her widower father whose obsession turns to madness when she falls in love with another man.
