Based on interviews with the residents of Reading, Pennsylvannia, the play opens in 2008, where we meet Jason and Chris as they individually speak to their parole officer, Evan. A chance encounter between the two former friends brings them together to face the event that completely altered the course of their lives and the lives of those closest to them. As the play switches back to 2000, we meet best friends Tracey, Cynthia, and Jessie who work together and love to hang out at the local watering hole. The bartender Stan, who once worked at the factory with them until he suffered an injury, employs a busboy, Oscar, who has aspirations of a future in America. Conflicts emerge within the group as upcoming promotions and rumors of cuts to wages threaten the friends’ loyalty.
