The River Runs Deep

Juan Derby hugs his friend Nikki Duseau at a barbecue party in his backyard. Nikki is a lesbian who grew up in Monroe and now stays in a homeless shelter in town with her disabled daughter and her partner Kim. The shelter is a block away from Juan's house.

Monroe is a small town half way between Detroit, MI and Toledo, OH. Its biggest claim to fame is being the headquarters of Lazy Boy Corporation. Lazy Boy no longer manufactures furniture here. It imports it from China. Two paper mills and a number of car factories (including Ford) used to operate in the area. They are all gone now. Jobs that are still available in the area are low paying and mostly in the service industry.
