An All-American small town living to the music of the 30's and 40's during the mid-eighties.  Everyone has an important place in town society, even the town whore.  You can pass through, but you can’t say unless someone dies.  Then you can take their place, their name, and their family. You might be the mechanic, or the rich man, or the town drunk.  The only thing for sure, if you stay, is someone will take your place.

Mark is fueled with teenage confusion and anger.  His home is dysfunctional.  He has driven his car as far as it would go, three miles south of Utopia, Oklahoma.  The town seems to be in some kind of time warp, but everyone is friendly.  Billy, the town mechanic, strikes up a friendship with Mark and discovers Mark “...likes to work on them old cars.”  Soon everyone strikes up a real friendship with Mark, especially Loretta, the town whore.  Billy is dying.  There is a place for Mark in Utopia, Oklahoma.
