Catherine has just divorced Sebastian, but her spirits are fiercer than ever. She decides to travel throughout the United States with her new lover and colleague, Lewis. They are a kind of 21st century Lewis and Clark (Lewis and Catherine) trying to uncover stories in each of the fifty states. Along the way, they pick up a wayward nun named Rosalie, who has just gone through deep loss. They meet a teenaged girl named Blake, and rummage through the layers of migration that make up America – all sponsored by a rum named Monteverde.
Cast:
Catherine, 30s, a reporter. Tough but funny. An adventurer; clever. A feminist.
Lewis, late 30s, a photo-journalist. Cool. More than meets the eye. Also clever.
Sebastian, late 30s/early 40s. Strangely charming though blunt. Says what he thinks. Seemingly autistic, at times.
Rosalie, 30s, a nun/ex-nun. Cute, caring, searching. Sharp, but sensitive. Seemingly naïve, but also wise in some ways.
Blake, 16. A home-schooled teen who has just lost her father to a divorce. She’s also searching, like all teenage girls.
