Carter stands in the back of a pick-up truck driving recklessly through town, playing fiddle and screaming out that God is dead. His girlfriend, Jill, doubts her sexuality as she looks on from the ice cream shop with a cone in her hand and a tear in her eye. Stanley, the drunk that is driving the pickup truck, thinks of the girl he almost got with last night. Her name is Reeda. She lives in Buford County. She came to Harpswood with her friends for a party. At the party she met a girl, Rachel, whose mother works with her father in William County. Neither Reeda nor Rachel know that their parents are having an affair. Rachel's mother is married to her second husband, Ed, who works at the water plant. Ed is Jill's uncle. His brother, "Po", is Jill's father. In the passenger seat, James screams out the window at some girls who are obviously a little underage. James used to date Jill before Stanley did.
Life was full of this bullshit before the asteroid came.
