The story follows the strained, sexual relationship between Li'l Bit and her aunt's husband, Uncle Peck, from her adolescence through her teenage years into college and beyond. Using the metaphor of driving and the issues of paedophilia, incest, and misogyny, the play explores the ideas of control and manipulation. (Wikipedia [1])
