| Abstract: | Christmas Eve finds Cassie about to close her Julibee Motel when a storm sweeps in the well-heeled Mick. She insists her motel is closed. He wants a room at any price. His name is familiar, but she doesn’t let on. Instead, she kicks their hard-core banter into a rollercoaster of confessions, threats, and unfulfilled desires. As they struggle, Mick must decide whether he wants to die, Cassie must decide whether she wants him to live. |
