Have you ever wanted to run away? Felicia does, and her life as well as her son's may depend on it. The 1950s find Felicia in a relationship with a man she no longer recognizes. She met Greg a year earlier by a spinning wheel of fortune. That'll teach her to hook up with a stranger at the county fair! And she doesn't really have a plan to get herself and her ten-year old son, Roger, out of what's quickly become a bad situation. Greg wasn't always abusive. At first he'd been kind, considerate, and even gentle. But lately his disposition has changed. Unhappy at work -- or possibly with Felicia and her "mama's boy always under foot" -- he starts drinking heavily. Then he hits her for no reason other than she was in the way. Now it's time to act, to protect her son from the worst of her bad choices. She'll find them a safe place for the night, and the rest will take care of itself. But will it be that easy?
