Joe, a middle-aged executive driving home from the airport and still smarting from a recent divorce, picks up Ginger, a much younger, pretty hitchhiker with a guitar and a suitcase full of poetry books. Ginger, with a candid voice and a light, joyful spirit, is headed for Colorado Springs, so Joe pretends he’s bound for Denver, concealing that his real home is in Santa Fe. When they need a place to stay for the night, motel rooms prove elusive, and Joe drives to his house, presenting it as a friend’s place who’s out of town and has offered him access.
