Synopsis: | In a halfway house in New Jersey, Ann Corcoran, 21, has been working her way back to sanity after a breakdown precipitated by an assault. Her life changes when Perry, a trucker she met at a diner where she waited tables, comes to ask Ann out on a date. He persuades her to venture out of the house, but as they are about to leave, Perry is arrested for a run-in with an off-duty cop, and Ann withdraws again. The incident almost pushes Ann over the edge, but her feelings for Perry prevent her from losing all hope. | |||||

Synopsis: | Having found evidence that her husband Marty has been cheating, Kate comes to Once Loved, a used-furniture store owned by her mother Laura and Laura's partner, Barb. There she encounters Terry, a young man so desperate to reclaim a drop-leaf pine table, which he insists was sold to the store by mistake, that he breaks into the back room. After catching him, Laura, Barb, Kate and Marty (who has pursued Kate to the store) begin an impromptu investigation to determine whether Terry is a thief, a would-be terrorist or, as he claims, "just a guy who's having a really bad day." Their discovery of Terry's secret has unexpected consequences for their own relationships. | |||||
