The story follows a handsome young first-year college student (Tenant) and a gorgeous middle-aged widow (Landlady). After a deadly altercation with two of the Bianchi mob members, the couple has to go on the run to save themselves. Not only running from the mob but also from the widow's (ex) ***friend, a corrupt police captain.
To stay off of the mob and police radar while traveling across the country, our two protagonists must work at low-paying jobs or excepting higher pay from less scrupulous individuals. All while navigating between new friends, lovers, and a forbidden romance.
