His niece falls for one of the immigrants, which awakens his feelings for her and threatens to tear his family and his world apart. Judgment, respect, sexual dynamics, hopes, and fear are at the core of this intensely absorbing drama, a tragedy in the traditional form and a modern classic.
The cast includes Alonso Yabar as Eddie, along with Daniel Sukup, Shane Bosillo, John Fisher, Rachel Hockensmith, Julie Range-Colvin, Joe Bayne, Ryan Ethridge, Jaiymz Hawkins, Cole Figus, Nick Marquart, Ashley Ritter, Sam Rudloff, and Dwayne Ferguson.
