After a string of misfortunes, in late 1987, Will finds himself crashing on Jenny’s couch in West Texas. Will doesn’t know Jenny, nor the others lodgers sleeping there, because Jenny would absolutely anybody stay at hers, no questions asked. Will looks back on these precious days at Jenny’s, on the mounting pressure exerted on her little sanctuary by the overbearing mayor, on the drastic decision Jenny is forced to make, searching desperately for where it all went wrong.
