Erstwhile

Richard is approaching middle age and has no idea what his future holds. His wife Susan has given him the stability he sought. However, flaws in what they believed to be indestructible devotion are masked by their hectic existence in the pseudo-metropolis of Orlando, Florida. Certain that they can withstand any challenges forced upon them, the couple moves to a tiny hamlet in northwest Florida. The change is intended to eliminate the distractions that have kept them from achieving the purely ethereal love that each craves. They don't consider the physical flaws and dependencies that have wracked them both prior to knowing the other, and ignore their imperfections by clinging to tenuous associations that will never succeed. Will Richard survive a hunting trip, which ends on a two-rut road known as Hangin' Tree Road? Can Susan shake her dependency long enough to formulate a lucid conceptualization of a future with her husband? Can either survive the pasts that haunt them both?
