description: Odys only wants to get home from a long trip. Is that really too much to ask? From the start of his journey home to Kansas, Odys continues to stumble over obstacles and to meet people who share their experiences with him. First, the sexy Sirone tries to seduce him while they wait for their plane, and then he and his partner, Mac, are forced to spend time in an airport layover. An angry man tries to take his seat, and a sleazy man makes advances on his wife at home! All the while, Odys finds himself the storyteller to all he encounters, recalling tales of harsh tornados, tragic love, dreams of flying and dancing, and near-death cliffhangers. The tales, rich with human flaws and aspirations, are what entertain and motivate Odys on his tiring journey home to his family.
