This timeless play explores the deep friendship between Doug and Kayleen who never seem to be able come together at the right time. The travails of life break them apart and gruesome injuries bring them back together. Doug believes that Kayleen is his guardian angel and her touch is what mends his wounds. Kayleen's profound trauma from the abandonment of her mother and asshole father doesn't allow for the acceptance of Dougs love. Their bond is not typical and difficult to understand at times but it is love nonetheless. Their deep routed pain although individualized is their connection and way back together.
