Maria Esperanza, a dental hygienist and chanteuse loves Clay Balfour, the divorced father of two children and owner of a little house on 34th and Fever. And he loves her back. But as a man emotionally "in extremis" who tries to heal himself by extreme means, Clay also falls in love with something he can't define: with the ambiguity, the act of juggling all the chaotic elements of his life. Music and sound play an unusual role in this exploratory drama. They intrude upon, complement, and accompany Clay's tour of his own mind. They take on the form of reaction-connection. Events react with events, the reaction connects with other reactions involving other events... nuclear introspection! Commissioned by New American Radio.
