"OLYMPUS, TX - A TRAGEDY IN SEVEN ACTS. Friday: the reunion; Saturday: the fight; Sunday: the shooting; Monday: guilt; Tuesday: forgiveness; Wednesday: the funeral; Thursday: truth. When March Briscoe returns home from self-imposed exile after having had an affair with his brother's wife, it doesn't take him even a day to sleep with her again. He comes by his rage, his anger and his love of women honestly. After all it runs in the family: his father has six grown children and only three of them with his long-suffering wife June. But over the course of a week in Olympus, TX, there will be a shooting, a funeral and more betrayal and March will turn out to be the sanest of the bunch."--Provided by publisher.
