When Sandra, a fed-up 1973 Detroit housewife, decides to leave her husband, she

enlists the help of Vernell, her reluctant best friend, to disguise as a man and help her open a bank account. 

In the process, Vernell uncovers the financial mishandlings in her own “perfect” marriage, and while Sandra returns the favor the two discover a plot by city officials to destroy their neighborhood with the construction of a highway. 

They’re not having that, but they’re going to need a lot more disguises and schemes to 

save Albany Street!
