Economic collapse causes widespread rioting and social unrest, leaving a lovesick 19-year-old girl struggling to care for her siblings in a stretch of woods bordered by lawless anarchy, wondering why a good God would let this happen.

Susan has always been the self-centered oddball in her family who lazily skated through life with their begrudging support until one day she wakes up to realize she’s middle-aged with no job, no relationship, and an increasingly estranged family. She finally decides to take charge and turn things around, but never having done anything herself before, the struggle is real (and hilarious) as Susan becomes the woman she always wanted to be, all on her own.

When a single mother decides to leave the military and moves to a town known for storytelling for a settled life with her son, she meets a childhood friend who is the worst choice to fall in love with: a wandering storyteller.

October 1992. A group of law students head to a remote home upstate where a girl disappeared two years earlier.
