Sundown, Yellow Moon
by Rachel Bonds, The Bengsons


Highlights
Synopsis
Ray and Joey, twin sisters, have returned home to their small southern town to help their father in a moment of crisis.
He is recently divorced and has just had an altercation with the administration at the school where he teaches.
Joey is about to head off to Berlin on a Fulbright scholarship, while Ray has just left her job and a romantic relationship with her boss.
The family comes together and sees friends from their pasts, but they can’t get over the ennui that is associated with moving on from where they’ve been to where they will be.
