THE STORY: A man lost in his adult life drives across the West with his stepdaughter - a young girl at the beginning of hers. The broken ground is echoed by their broken past. He's trying to fit together a new life using pieces of the old; she's just trying to survive. Two characters, Bitch and Monkey Man (the only names the young girl will allow), roam through the northern Rockies on a long loop from home, with two very different agendas. In a series of increasingly desperate attempts to rescue something from the wreckage of divorce, they test how much they can trust each other - or whether they can ever trust each other again. Along the way darker and darker secrets emerge, and the questions they face ineluctably become those of life and death.
