An unlikely bail jumper, Briggs is a clean-cut computer programmer who failed to show up in court for a minor case. And, of course, Stephanie's mom. If you were born and raised in the burg, you're a burger for life. Houses are small and obsessively neat. Televisions are large and loud.
Lots are narrow.
Families are extended. There are no pooper scooper laws in the burg. If your dog does his business on someone else's lawn, the next morning the crap apples will be on your front porch. Life is simple in the burg. Amazingly, there's a juicy mystery at the center of all this kitsch and kin.
