David is a brilliant young man living alone in an old seaside motel in San Francisco in 1979.

He has just destroyed the life that he and his live-in girlfriend Kate spent two years building together.He has no idea why he did the terrible thing he did. All he knows is that he’s appalled he did it, and desperately wants Kate back.

Fat chance. Kate, who loves David, is many things. Stupid isn't one of them.

"Everywhere She’s Not" is about crazy-making, mind-boggling, gut-wrenching love. It’s about how ultimately rewarding it can be to keep hoping, even when you know there's no hope at all.It’s about passing through locked motel doors, travel brochures for ax-murderers, Cornish game hens playing lawn darts.It's about helping your best friend, who is gay, pretend that he isn’t gay, so that his ex-wife won’t take away his child visitation rights.

It's about David Allen Finch finally facing the truth of who is family is, and what they've made him become—and what, if anything, he can do about that.
