There`s a bar at the crossroads on the way out of town. Or the way in, depending on whether you`re coming or going. Marcie & her husband have run it for years. After thirty years of marriage, there aren`t many secrets left between them. Couples often say that, don`t they? But it`s not always true. Arlene appeared in the bar one day, not long before Franky Albertino came back to town, hoping that she`d find a man called Jack. Franky was hoping that people might have forgotten the mess he`d left behind him the first time around. Franky`s problem had always been women. Women & money. What Arlene`s problem is isn`t clear. It`s obvious she has a history, but who doesn`t? As Arlene gets closer to finding Jack
- her father? her lover?
- the bar becomes the scene of a great unravelling; secrets buried a lifetime ago are dragged into the light. In Things We Nearly Knew, Jim Powell invites us to consider how much we know about the people we love & asks, finally: would you want to know the truth?
