Allison Johns

by Dan Glover

Suffering from post traumatic stress disorder after surviving a deadly car accident a young girl departs her home in search of a new life away from nightmares about the return of her darkly insane brother. Leaving her home in Malibu Hills she travels north along the California coastline until in the midst of a hangover she happens upon a tavern called Twenty Nine Katz teetering on the edge of the ocean where she finds a job and rents a room in a crumbling Victorian mansion from a woman to whom she is inexplicably drawn. Allison Johns meets a fortune teller at the tavern who foresees her becoming great friends with a man named Billy Austin but his destitution puts her off. Will she listen to the secret longings of her sexuality in time to discover the love of her life? Or will her brother find her and claim her as his own?
