Synopsis:
Bernard and Althea have lived their whole lives in the neighborhood, in the
same house and have grown old there. But Deer Run’s lead smelter plant has
been buying out the houses around them because of lead contamination fears
and now the lots are empty weeds and only their house remains. Their
neighbors are gone. They’re alone. Althea’s been sick and Bernard cares for
her even as he remembers how lovely she once was, all the friends they once
had and all the good times they enjoyed when they were young. He loves her
and he’ll never leave her. They’ll never leave their home. But they can’t
stop time and they’re only waiting for their lonely daughter, Jenny, to make
one last visit so they can say goodbye to her and introduce her to the man
they know she’s meant to be with…then they can leave this earth happy. |
