My sights turned back to the flyer: Join the annual Carnival down in Dulcet! Well, would you look at that? There's actually some real fun happening here in Big Sky Country that doesn't involve a random bear scratching its rear with an elk's horn.
The Carnival...the kids have never been to one before, and I haven't gone to any since I was a young troublemaker myself. The Westchester County Fair was where all the action was during the summer before I developed a taste for alcohol-excuse me-adult socializing.
His thoughts are burdened by the blaring horns, fetid smells, and backbreaking work for a few dollars to make ends meet. His unimpressive resume thrown immediately into the bin to be set aflame. A worry like no other for someone who has to come into his own for his children's sake.
Art, a single father of two, sets his sights to the West in search of a better life for his boy and girl away from the hustle and bustle of New York. From mangy scrapper to clean cut blue-collar, he gives it his all while trying not to let his pessimistic thoughts deter him from possible opportunities within reach.
By working the daily grind at the local high school, he's determined to not only be a great provider, but learn to be a great father at a young age. The difficulty of raising children weighs on him, but with new acquaintances, from babysitters to even a particular dentist, his determination grows.
As does his comedic interactions with them.
From the beautiful scenic landscape to rowdy bars, Art's new start begins in the Treasure State of Montana in search of his own oro y plata (gold & silver), in a town named Dulcet.
