"A Marcato Book."
A young woman presents a play based on her life as a seventeen-year-old runaway whose escape from her foster home in Los Angeles is thwarted by an all-day traffic jam, an event which provides time for her to explore her free-floating identity, her hunger for her unknown mother, and her yearning for human connection.
