Yvette "Yve" Mitchell is a 40-something socialite, living in Houston's River Oaks with her oilman husband, Garrett. She is hitting a wall with her knack for rationalizing their excessive lifestyle, and not even her passion for art history can reconcile her unchecked life. She is starting to wonder if the simplicity of her working-class roots has more value than she thought. Yve finds solace in a friendship with her husband's newly hired geophysicist, Curtis, a married Black man over 20 years her senior who lives in Houston's Riverside Terrace. From banter on the material delights of Herm???s scarves and Lucchese boots, to poignant observations on racial dynamics and spiritual beliefs, their relationship deepens. As Yve grapples with the inconsistencies in her own life, she is confronted with another - she is a married woman forming a spiritual bond with a married man. Even though they share only friendship, not everyone believes their story. The turmoil they inadvertently bring to others, coupled with tragedy, thrusts Yve into uncharted soul territory. It's Not the Same for Us highlights how the power of our contradictions can unite us through recognizing our shared humanity. It is a tale about summoning the confidence to embrace our intuition as a compass to guide us home. We already inherently know the answer, and this knowing is what's the same for us.
