THE STORY: Waking up in the jail of a small Texas town, hungover from the excesses of the night before, an irrepressible young rock star tries to strike up a conversation with her jailer. She is a public person—brash, earthy and demonstrative while he is a very private, self-contained young man who refuses to be impressed by her taunts and boasting. But gradually, as their defenses lower, and they begin to sense that they have more in common than their respective role-playing might indicate, the two achieve a kind of intimacy and harmony. When she is finally picked up by a colleague they are suddenly strangers again—but we know that both have been changed, and more than they might realize by their encounter.
