Revealing love and homelessness in America, we begin with the tale of how a dollar given in charity on the streets of New York City turned into a lifetime of love for two South Dakota women. Then, on Love in History, is the story of a man who escaped homelessness – Harry Houdini and his two loves, his wife Bess, and his mother Cecilia. On the Road is a mystic experience with a homeless, (and boatless) retired police officer in Mystic, Connecticut. And finally, a Tale from The Heart of America is about a game no one wants to play, but for which love can rewrite the rules, called: Hide and Sleep.
