Naomi Jenkins is madly in love with her boyfriend Robert Haworth. (Emphasis on "mad.") However, Robert suffers from an unfortunate condition known as "marriage," so Naomi and Robert can only meet for three hours per week, in the same room at the same motel. But one week, Robert doesn't show up. Robert would never stand Naomi up, so she knows—knows!—something terrible has happened to Robert, and resolves to find out what.
