What kind of drama could happen in a small-town Iowa bus station? If you're a guy like Mallory, it's the kind that involves sidestepping trouble between a pretty, frightened blonde and a pretty frightening, two-fisted, one-eyed goon. With the help of a handy Pepsi bottle, Mallory saves the lady from the menacing lout, shares a heartfelt moment, and sees her safely off, wistfully wondering if they'll ever meet again. End of story? Not a chance.
Even though it's Mallory's best buddy, John, who's visiting on leave from combat in Vietnam, it's Mallory who has a nasty flashback - when that same sweet blonde drops back into his life after losing hers. But how did she go from a bus out of town to a car at the bottom of a cliff? Why is her "accident" a dead ringer for the one that killed a scandal-scarred senator? And is local lawman Sheriff Brennan helping to hush things up?
The questions are good ones, and Mallory wants answers - bad. But if he crosses the wrong people, things could get ugly....
