The story

In a field in Montana, Clay Bidwell's best friend Earl, dies by suicide after confronting Clay over the ongoing affair he had been having with Earl's wife Amanda.

A short time after Earl's funeral, Clay arrives home to find an indifferent, half-naked Amanda pressing him to continue with their affair as if nothing has happened.

He dumps Gloria's body in the lake, and the next day Clay and Lester go fishing.
