Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
The steel mill has closed in the town of Gompers. While prejudice, poverty, and crime are rampant, there are signs of hope when a Blue Jesus is seen walking on water, a golden greyhound is found under a tree, and riverboat gambling is promised. Rapp's characters use wicked, sometimes brutal, contemporary humor to make the best of their circumstances until he strips away these fronts to reveal the fear and pain in their hearts.
