Pasadena, 6:17 a.m. The phone rings once in Gloria's freezing apartment — a voice from last night's Hollywood Hills party, half-stranger, half-song: "You left your lighter. Come get it." She's already late for a double shift. Her hand is on the receiver.

The radiator clanks once and gives up. Your breath fogs in the kitchen light — the phone on the counter has been ringing since 6:14.
