“When You Comin’ Back, Red Ryder?” tells the story of a small New Mexico diner that lost most of its customers when a new highway bypass opened. Into the monotonous daily grind of the diner’s usuals come a couple of strangers, an unbalanced Vietnam War veteran and his hippie girlfriend, who complicate issues and force others to take hard looks at themselves. It does contain strong language and mature situations.

Lesser God.” It was adapted for the big screen and made into a film in
