The Hearts of Blue Whales

Jessie and Chance have a history. In this two-act play set in Kansas City, Jessie and Chance are the sole characters who meet up again six years after their last meeting. Chance, a musician, finds out his band's gig is cancelled, so stuck in his motel room, he invites his former lover, Jessie, to dinner. Soon, Chance can't help but want to date Jessie again, but the distant-from-her-feelings Jessie backs away.
While they sip bourbon in Chance's room, Jessie's struggle to stay sober is revealed. She claims to be damaged goods and blames her meth-dealing Ozark father and absent mother. Undeterred by her murky past, Chance believes Jessie can love and be loved, but can she overcome her troubled background and insecurities?
