In a rundown bar in the Bronx, two of society's rejects, Danny and Roberta, strike up a halting conversation over their beer. He's a brooding, self-loathing young man who resorts more to violence than reason; she's a divorced, guilt-ridden young woman whose troubled teenage son is now being cared for by her parents. Danny, whose fellow truck drivers call him the animal, seems incapable of tender emotion, while Roberta, who is still haunted by the memory of a sexual incident involving her father, is distrustful of men in general. As their initial reserve begins to melt, and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emerge - the first for both of them. In the end there are no facile, easy answers, but thanks to the playwright's skill and compassion, both characters are able to probe within themselves to find an exorcism and forgiveness that, while painfully achieved, offers the hope of a future touched, at last, with more than the bitterness and loneliness that had been their lot before their fateful meeting.
