The low light of the downtown diner washes over Danny Fisher, leaning against the counter with a weary slouch. Behind him, the bustle of 1958 New Orleans seeps through the windows.

The air is thick, heavy with the tension of a young man fleeing his family troubles and academic failures, seeking refuge in the routine of the night shift.
