Play :: Alabama 1932. In his log cabin, Tice reads from two books. He swears by his bible and dreams of spreading the word of Karl Marx. His daughter Cali no longer dreams. Her world extends no further than the washing of sheets for rich white folk. They wake in the night to an ominous knocking at their door. An enigmatic stranger enters their lives and intends to turn their world upside down. Will this lead to Tice's dream of heaven or Cali's version of hell?
