My Neighbor Was Crying on the Stairs... She Asked, "Do You Know Anyone Renting Nearby?"

When Martin finds his neighbor Nora crying on the stairs, she asks if he knows anyone renting nearby. Their building has been sold, and they both have sixty days to find a new home.

As they search for separate places across Pittsburgh, “nearby” begins to mean more than a familiar street.
