Mermaids

Meey Mrs. Flax. She's sexy, strong minded and free-spirited.

Mrs. Flax downfall has always been men and each time a love affair fails she moves her family to another town. East Port is move number 18 and the sleepy Massachusetts town is not quite ready for the Flaxes...especially shoe shop owner Lou Landsky who becomes the latest object of Mrs Flax's desire. Meanwhile, Charlotte's religious calling crumbles when she meets gorgeous Joe Peretti and falls head over heels in love. Her new found desires leave her mixed-up and confused, and her wayward mother is no help whatsoever!
