Summary
June, 1989.
Sodapop Curtis' career is in shambles. Not even a decade in Hollywood has attracted him to the party lifestyle that Hollywood loves to promote. His new affinity for drinking has brought back old family habits he thought he had broken. Cheating. Shoving. Beating.
His wife sleeps in a different room. His little step-daughter doesn't want to talk to him. His brother is worried about him. Everything's going wrong for him. So he takes a moment to relax.
He fills a bath. Gets in. Lies down. It works so well, too - it may be the last bath he'll ever need.
