When Trinity Pearl, the Punk Rock Tango Girl, beats town, Mark takes off in an attempt to forget about
her (After It Rains), (Smoke and Other Halloween Decorations). He meets a girl named Red
who speaks in rhyme, but decides that One Man's Poetry is another man's poison, and heads back
to Cornersville Trace just in time forValentines's Day. He meets a girl named Lila at a local cafe
(Sixty Six), but comes to realiize that their relationship is doomed ( If I Loved You) ( The Death of
Me Yet) as he settles
back into life in Cornsersville Trace (Snowflakes In Your Hair.) Meanwhile, he comes to realize that he's slowly losing his mind (How Mark Got Sane). and tries to salvage a relationship
with Lila (La Boheme on the Radio). But it's useless; Mark heads off to find Trinity, who, he hears, is living in some
place called Union City, having changed her name to Winter, and finds that she's really only (Human After All). But this brings closure, and,
after using a pay phone to make plans to meet up with some old friends in New York, Mark drives away, feeling better than he's felt all year. ( Winter).
