Harlan Boone
a shuttered coal town in West Virginia
Harlan Boone runs a solitary garage that holds his father's memory and the delicate promises of a struggling community. He often trades laughter and concern equally with his regulars in this barren West Virginia town, keenly observing their hesitant hands and unspoken worries. His still nights are disrupted by thoughts of the lies and unsaid truths echoing through the days.
