He tolerates her evangelical zeal for Pearl Jam-right down to her refurbished school bus dedicated to the Yield album-even if he does prefer Kiss.

She runs a heating business; he paints oversized album jacket replicas in their rural northern Michigan bungalow. It's idyllic-until an invasion of microscopic Rafferty doom unmasks his cowardice. Clive is forced to choose between saving face, and finally facing down his worst enemy: himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEllie and Clive might manage to outrun the Rafferty doom that has dogged them their entire lives, but it's going to be a whole lot harder to outrun adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eState of Love \u0026amp; Trust is a tragicomedy about love, family, dogs and Pearl Jam fans.
