The story

Finbar McBride is a quiet, unmarried man with dwarfism whose deep love of railroads is matched by his preference for solitude.

Joe Oramas, a Cuban American, runs his father's roadside snack truck while his father recovers from an illness.

Joe's relentlessly cheerful and talkative personality gradually breaks through Fin's reserve.
