But will that reveal what's behind the death of Thurston's biggest-only?-fan? Even amid the mayhem, the complex yearnings among the trio of more-than-friends take important steps toward resolution. The stage is nearly set. Family, friends, enemies mix together with a dose of a historical scam in a case of Cross Talk
