Plot summary

Annie and Owen have a shared fantasy that they are a married couple, Linda and Bruce. Linda works at a hospice and enlists Bruce's aid in tracking down Wendy, a ring-tailed lemur belonging to one of her patients, Nan. Wendy was stolen by furriers to make into a hat. Linda and Bruce are caught by the furrier and his sons who plan to make them watch them skin Wendy. The Fish and Wildlife Service arrive and get into a shootout with the furrier and his sons while Bruce and Lin escape with Wendy.

Linda delivers Wendy to Nan's estranged daughter, Paula Nazlund, as instructed. Linda realizes that she gave Paula the lemur out of hate rather than love as Nan loved Wendy more than Paula. Paula informs Linda she is pregnant with a son she will call "Greg 'Fuck U Nan' Nazlund", the name of the man driving the truck that hit Annie and her sister, killing Ellie and causing Annie to blame herself. Returning home, Linda recounts a memory of her and her sister that is actually from Annie's life. At home Bruce is arrested by Fish and Wildlife, claiming he is solely responsible for stealing Wendy. He sees Grimsson watching from the street.
