He was mesmerised, that night they were both deaf, mouthing to each other over the booming bass. And it was not until their first date, after he had agonised over what CD to play in the car, that Bridger learned her deafness was profound and permanent. By then He was falling in love.
Now Dana is in the courtroom, here legs shackled, as a list of charges is read out. She is accused of auto theft, possession of a controlled substance , assault with a deadly weapon and many more charges. Dana and Bridger set out to find the person who is living a blameless life of criminal excess at her expense, they begin to test the life they have built together to limits.
