Three characters, each with a story; each coming together for this brief time when their stories intersect. At a highway truck stop in the middle of the desert, Vic and Kendra meet at the café and later, for a date at the motel. Then Bob arrives and claims to be Kendra’s husband, which she denies. Who is Vic to believe? What action is he to take? Action often springs from desire...
