| Plot Summary of Wasted Land |
|---|
"An unexpected and passionate love affair, soaked in whiskey, loneliness, and pain takes a young man over in the blistering Kansas summer heat. The perfect love that enters his life, however, is not enough to heal him, or pacify the relentless haunting of his parent's cruelty toward him when he was a child.
"
