The Halfway Diner

This is a story about a group of women who make a weekly 12-hour journey by bus to visit their partners in prison. This is a story about their lives, intertwined, through the forced togetherness of space and purpose. This is a story about unlikely, tenuous friendships that cross social and racial boundries, and that would otherwise be entirely implausible outside of the "virtual reality" of the bus they are on. This is a story about a colorful and varied set of characters who brave their circumstances in their own ways, who make the journey out of love or duty or even out of resignation, and find it in themselves and in their company, to look ahead, into the future, with hope.
