A collection of stories that couldn't have less to do with one another.

America Calling

It's 1969. Two dudes. Two trips. Too much, man.

After a gap of twenty years, Chris and Lisa run into each other at a garage sale; a brief encounter that results in an unexpectedly candid journey down memory lane brimming with "what if's and if only's." A funny, poignant, and painful tale, that reveals how both men and women can be predatory, conniving, fun-loving creatures.
