Miscellaneous
(written by Greg Swartz)
Sam Bergen is a lonely, broken man obsessed with yard sales and their hidden treasures. At a sale, he meets and becomes fast friends with Rebecca Burkhart, a profoundly manic-depressive Mary Poppins with a knack for changing the lives of everyone she meets. But the medication that helps balance the young photographer's moods also robs her of her creativity - an option she refuses to consider. Soon Rebecca's behavior goes from eccentric to dangerous and Sam realizes that the only way to help his friend is to betray her.

Once there, he begins writing again and decides to stay for a bit. Soon, he gets a generous outside offer while his family struggles to complete their harvest.
