Plot summary
In 1984, 33 years after the events depicted in The Last Picture Show, 50-year-old Duane Jackson is a wealthy tycoon of a near-bankrupt oil company. His relationship with his family is not prospering. His wife, Karla, believes that Duane is cheating on her, and his son, Dickie, seems to be following in his father's libidinous footsteps.
Ruth Popper works as Duane's secretary, and despondent Lester Marlow, now a bank president, seems a prime candidate for a business crisis, a heart attack, or both.
Sonny Crawford's increasingly erratic behaviour causes Duane concern over his mental health.
Jacy Farrow has travelled the world and experienced its pleasures. A painful tragedy brings her back to her hometown and once again into Duane's life.
