A gritty and brilliantly written story about the dark side of today's America continues in the best tradition of John Steinbeck's novels.

Against the background of two hectic rainy days and nights, the entire life story of 30-year-old Lynette, who is exhausted by desperately trying to find money for a mortgage and living with an egotistical mother and a disabled brother, unfolds before the reader's eyes.

And a desperate situation calls for desperate actions
