This comedic and yet dead serious story unfolds in real time as a forlorn young man, with the help of his heroic grandmother, searches for the woman he tried to save from a nightmarish fate when they were both children. An orphan, a determined refugee, a phony fortune teller, and a renegade dentist make up this colorful crew of hopeful souls.

Description
Freddy
M
30-35
Earnest, naive, deeply good, he has power in his sheltered world because of his stubborn protectiveness and affection toward others. He has lived all his life with his "grandparents," who are foster parents to many abused children, and has himself not completely grown up.
Selena
F
25
About 25. Good natured but cynical, a self-created woman-of-the-world, who gets by as a phony fortune teller in Little Italy, Manhattan. Emotionally bitter, she is nevertheless charming and still full of youthful potential.
Rocky
M
30-55
A sweet-natured "failure" of a man with multiple ex-wives, he has latched onto Selena as a sort of sidekick. He lives her cynical life alongside her, but still yearns for a spiritual underpinning and a redress to childhood neglect.
