synopsis
An award-winner at the 1997 AFI/Los Angeles Film Festival, this low-budget drama follows the misadventures of drifter Billie (Edie Falco), who ditches her motorcycle and picks up a car. The vehicle is hit by another car, and she can't collect from the other driver (Andrew Lowery). Instead, she settles into a marginal existence in an impoverished fishing village where she takes on odd jobs while camping out with a local resident (Caitlin Clarke) and contemplating a bleak future.
