Plot Synopsis

Each season this reality series follows Whitney Mixter with a different group of real-life, hot-and-happening lesbians in their daily lives at work and play in Los Angeles (all seasons) and New York (Season 3). At the beginning of Season 1, Whitney was described as a 27-year-old special effects artist who was the self-professed worst girlfriend -- "always looking for love, but losing to lust" but she found Romi and together they shared the most-talked-about on-screen sex scene of 2010. In Season 2, Whitney and Romi returned...but not together. And Whitney's life becomes more complicated in Season 3 when Sara becomes the newest temptation she just can't resist. Plus, Season 3 brings a New York flavor, with new cast members from the vibrant New York lesbian scene .

Cori and Kacy, married since 2008, are still trying to start a family, navigating the expensive path of conception. Romi has had a falling out with Whitney, and she believes Sara is at the center of it. Sara is a stylist and go-go dancer who has been through the wringer with Whitney, yet they only seem more intertwined because of it. Sara is considering making the move to the Big Apple, but is not sure what that will do to her and Whitney's relationship. Lauren, the CEO of a jewelry company, is having a great time as a committed bachelor, who anxiously awaits Amanda, a friend with benefits, to move from New York to Los Angeles. Amanda, a socialite in real estate, is making the move from the Big Apple to the West Coast to reunite with her BFF and partner-in-crime, but she find it difficult to adjust to the SoCal attitude and navigate her non-couple relationship with Lauren. Kiyomi and Somer are New Yorkers who are respectively the front woman and rhythem guitarist of Canadian band Hunter Valentine, an all-lesbian punk band. Kiyomi is the ultra-cool, heartbreaking rock star who is extremely stubborn and fiercely committed to the band that she believes is on the brink of making it big. Somer is struggling to balance her lifestyle as an adrenaline-and-whiskey-infused rock star with her domestic life with her new wife, and as the newest member of the band, she's still trying to find her place.
