A Series of DisappointmentsDoris Johnson is a middle-aged woman stuck in a gray-cubicle job and an absent-husband marriage. One really bad day propels her on a journey to revisit the decisions she's made in her life. She packs up her cat, Mrs. Palmer, and together they set off to explore the forks-in-the-road not taken. She rekindles a relationship with good friend, Tim Woodman, who is sadly in need of love. She seeks out her old flame, Zeke Lyons, who, she discovers, is afflicted with a giant ego and a disturbing lack of integrity. Literally running into her first love, Jack O'Lent, she finds he has become a brainwashed activist. Along the journey, she finds that she herself has mysteriously become the object of a government manhunt.
