A nameless, pill-popping drifter girl steps off a bus and into a neighborhood bar owned by two middle-age brothers. She quickly befriends older brother Victor — a good-natured lummox whose mind was affected as the result of a childhood accident. The mysterious Girl soon upsets the delicate balance of the brothers’ lives while bringing both trouble and new life into the world of these resigned characters.
