Paralleling their story is that of Chic's older brother Buddy. Haunted by the suicide of their father, Buddy struggles to make a life with his exotic wife, Lijywho is hiding a devastating secret of her ownwhile attempting to introduce the residents of Middleville to vegetarianism and Ayurveda massage, unusual endeavors in midcentury Middle America.Coming headlong out of Las Vegas in the 1990s and bound for Peoria, Illinois, are Green Geneseo, a retired, widowed bank teller, and Mary Norwood, an aging pool hustler, looking for one last swing at the American Dream. The couple sideswipes the life of the now aged and widowed Chic, offering him one last chance to right a life that has been filled with sadness and tragedy.
