Description
An extremely crass and frustrated oil worker, and failed child pianist hiding from his past in Texas. Robert Dupea spends his life drinking beer and sleeping with (and cheating on) his annoying but adoring wannabe girlfriend, but when he learns that his father is dying in Washington State, he leaves because leaving is what Dupea does best, from his problems, fears, and those who love him.
