Synopsis: | Beatrice is almost forty. She was born with one leg. She lives in a trailer with her father and son. She has never had a job, driven a car, or left a twenty-mile radius of her small town. The only escape she has is a fantasy trip to Mexico. As reality spirals out of control, her fantasy becomes harder and harder to hold onto until she is forced to acknowledge or deny the horrifying truth about herself. | |||||
