In her early 20s, Anne Marie Dubois was hired as a reporter by the editor of the Great Falls Evening Tribune. Not only was she the youngest, she was the first female reporter and the first French speaker in the newsroom. The year was 1943 and one of her first assignments was to cover the deaths of two local boys in a major battle of World War II. She did very well and made quite a name for herself.We first meet her many years later when she's 82 and has just moved into the Washburn Retirement Home, a few streets from the newspaper office. Anne Marie has nothing to do but share with us recollections of her newspaper career and her life in the tenement district of Great Falls. Suddenly, her nephew Ozzie drops in. A veteran of the Iraq War, Sergeant Dubois has managed the largest US Army recruiting station in South Florida. One day, he gets in his car and drives all the way to Maine. He tells his aunt that he's AWOL and tries to convince her to join him on his escape to Québec.
