The screenplay features an urban sophisticate who flees a cheating husband, stumbles across a murdered family at a remote crossroads and is chased on foot into the mountains by their hired killers. A redneck hunting guide seems to be waiting like a knight in armor, offering an off beat love interest, but it's his macho butt that she has to save. Meanwhile hubby thinks he's coming to the rescue.
This novella provides social satire wrapped up in sci-fi/fantasy. Joe Smith looses his wife, his job and his car all on the same day but not his desire to be somebody, so he volunteers to be the first average guy to be shot into sub-orbit in a spare parts rocket cobbled together by amateurs.

Scott Fitzgerald.
