A world-weary waitress and an eccentric Gulf War veteran meet in a dingy motel room. Together they confront loneliness, loss, her violent ex-con ex-husband, his murky military past, UFOs, secret government conspiracies and a possible infestation of blood-sucking aphids. Experience this pitch-black comedy in a terrifyingly intimate staging at the Ore Dock Brewing Company, located at 114 W. Spring St. in Marquette.
