Synopsis:
Tall, confident, and recently graduated from a prestigious liberal arts
college, Ethan Strauss believes he's found his intellectual equal in Emma,
a visceral, soft-spoken girl of backwoods origins with affinities for
Kerouac and cigarettes. Ethan believes he's been waiting all his life for a
girl like Emma, but when he meets her for coffee late one afternoon,
something's not quite right. Dressed in the bleak shadows of a sinking sun,
they have their drinks... they share their stories... they go for a walk...
and something heavy hangs in the air.
