Plot summary
Tammy Banks is having a run of bad luck in Murphysboro, Illinois. Driving to her job at Topper Jack's, she hits a deer, and once she arrives she is dismissed for her frequent lateness. Her car gives out on the way home, and when she walks in she finds her husband Greg at dinner with their neighbor Missi. Tammy heads to her parents' house nearby and tells her mother, Deb, that she is leaving town in her grandmother Pearl's Cadillac. Pearl decides to come along, bringing thousands of dollars in cash; Tammy's own money comes to sixty-eight dollars. Deb objects, because Pearl needs her medication and the family plans to move her into the Brookview Retirement Home. Pearl talks Tammy into having a beer.
