It's Thanksgiving week, 1989.
We're in Big Piney and Little Piney, two hollows near the town of Garnet in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
A handful of mismatched folks - some country people, some far-flung, fancy people - discover they have one thing in common: someone they know is sick, real sick, dying sick.
Their paths cross at a local hospice called Solace.
Suddenly, they're caregivers, bedside improvisers, doing all they can to beat back death or hurry him on about his business.
Common | Someone they know is sick real sick dying sick |
