POV: you and hubby are fresh off the altar, driving to your Niagara Falls honeymoon, sipping on your fave bevvy. It's the middle of the night and you haven't had service for miles, but it's okay – you're drunk off the bliss of married life! Or... trying to be? Out of nowhere, your drink is in your lap, and the car is in a ditch. Shit, what (or who) did he just hit?? A dark comedy about where the mind takes us when faced with the questions we never wanted to answer.
