Lena McLeonard: comedienne, lost soul. San Francisco: the city of her childhood, refuge of the hip and homeless. Following a bewildering accident, Lena settles for the dry and dusty sprawl that is Los Angeles. But this is not her final destination. For Lena has been shot, and in the time it took for a bullet to travel through her left ear and into the back wall of the donut shop, she had a revelation. Mainly that she had never found comedy particularly funny...So Lena moves away from the heat and the dust, heads north with only a camera for company. Trading punchlines for shapshots, she makes for Alaska, where she meets a mysterious tracker and speechless child, and discovers that loss can sometimes be gain.
