GUTTER ROAD

If only Fred Bauman hadn't stopped that rainy night and offered the young woman a ride, his life wouldn't be such a hell now. How was he to know that Joanne was working a con on him when she enticed him in the front seat of his car? Now he's paying more blackmail than he can afford to keep her from crying rape. Fred certainly doesn't want his wife Ethel to find out about his crazy indiscretion. But what he doesn't know is that Ethel has issues of her own. To stave off sexual boredom, she keeps a hidden bottle of vodka for her afternoons, dreaming of a man who can offer her some excitement of her own. Joanne's simple con sets the wheels in motion, and they're all heading down a road that will change their lives forever.
