and Chris meet while working the night shift at the Costco in Clarkston,
Washington. Jake has fled his privileged life in Connecticut after being
diagnosed with a fatal illness. Chris, a would-be writer with a meth addicted
mom, is stuck in what he fears is a dead-end life in a dead-end town. Their
tentative attraction develops into something deeper, scarier, and more intimate
in Samuel D. Hunter’s heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful companion piece to
BST’s 2021 production of LEWISTON.</span></p>

never seen the ocean. An aspiring writer, he hopes to get into the MFA program
