158 W 72nd St - 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10023
Picture a cluttered backyard of a small-town Texas bar in 1972. Roy, a brawny, macho type, once a local high-school hero, is back in town after a hitch in Vietnam & realizes that all he has left are memories of his glory days, his adoring younger brother Ray, his wife Elizabeth, & his now-crumbling 1959 pink Thunderbird.

Joined by Ray, Roy sets about consuming a case of Lone Star beer while regaling his brother with tales of his military & amorous exploits. But with the arrival of Cletis, the fatuous, newlywed son of the local hardware store owner, the underpinnings of Roy's world gradually begin to collapse
