Tod and Linc have decided to travel together, they currently staying and working in Galveston, Texas. Out alone one evening at a port-side working class Greek bar, Linc notices a young woman dancing, Janie, to who he is immediately infatuated. That infatuation continues no matter what Janie does with respect to him, including introducing him to her Greek bar-mates as Bill, someone supposedly significant in her life, and slipping a mickey into his drink. As Linc tries to insert himself into Janie's life, he is ordered first by the local police chief - a family friend - and then her Houston residing parents, to stay away from her for his and particularly her own good. Even Tod tries to warn him to be careful as he knows nothing about what issues she is going through. Linc begins to understand better from where Janie is coming, including who this "Bill" is, and why she behaves the way she does. With what he thinks he knows, he will have to make up his own mind about his potential future with her, she obviously also having some say in the matter.
