Plot summary
Erica spends her nights in the bars of Austin, Texas, picking up strangers for unprotected one-night stands, keeping a Polaroid album of the men and avoiding repeat partners. She cleans a flophouse in exchange for a room, but when Nate moves in as a new boarder, the landlady ends that arrangement and Erica needs paid work. Nate, a veteran who says he served in Iraq, helps her get a job at the store where he works. Distrustful at first, she warms to him, and a hesitant bond forms. Elsewhere in the city, Franki, a would-be musician, is told he is HIV-positive just before his band leaves for a European tour, news that derails the relationship he had just restarted with his girlfriend and concerns his mother, for whom he has been donating blood during her cancer treatment.
