Following the passing of her father Jim Davis, a widowed restaurateur turned public health inspector in food services, Veronica Davis is meeting with Father Greg in Jim's wish to have his funeral held in Father Greg's church, inexplicable in Jim seemingly having no connection to it including not being a parishioner. In Father Greg asking her to provide information about Jim to help him better prepare for the service, Veronica slowly opens up about their relationship, which as the stories progress becomes more and more complicated. One of the more unusual parts of their story is Jim taking care of Benjamin, Veronica's pet rabbit that she had since age nine, while Veronica was in prison for a crime she, as a former high school band teacher, finally admitted to Jim that she did not commit but for which she confessed to the police to committing. Subsequently, she dissuaded Jim from helping her get out of prison or at least to get her sentence reduced in she believing that she deserved to be in prison. Veronica's stories also includes those about her music lessons as a child with a single mother named Alicia, the lessons which Jim often took her to, and Veronica's ultimate friendship and romantic relationship with Alicia's similarly aged son, Walter, the two who, if she will be honest with Father Greg, are at the center of her want to be in prison and the strain that she had with her father.—Huggo
