[tense music] Located 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis, Muncie, Indiana, is a quintessential Midwestern town that prides itself on its blue-collar work ethic.
Muncie is a small town, and, um, it's getting even smaller now.
There is a lot of farmland, and there's a lot of nice people around.
And it's home to 29-year-old Tammy Craycraft Smith, a recent divorcee working hard to make a new life for herself.
[phone ringing]
Hi, Tammy.
Hope you're not working too hard.
Tammy had more spunk than anybody.
She just worked really hard at everything that she did.
She became a phlebotomist.
She drew blood at the hospital, but then she decided she needed to make more money, so she got a second job, and she started working at this restaurant.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hi, Tammy.
Sorry I didn't call you back.
I just stopped home to change clothes.
I'm waitressing tonight.
Can I call you later?
Sure, honey.
It's not important.
Hope you're not working too hard.
But I'm also running late.
