All are residents of the Allentown area: MacKay, a house parent at a home for disturbed children; Ron Kistler 25, an unemployed baker; and Dalton Young, 23, an unemployed veteran.

Helping them fall in love, and more than a little in love with them both, is Billy Kwan (Linda Hunt), a dwarfish man who works as a photographer and functions as an all-knowing tipster. Nothing is simple here on the outskirts of Graham Greeneland, where conscientious Westerners sink waist-deep in the Big Muddy of moral and political ambiguity...
