Set in Monessen, Pennsylvania, this narrative explores the rise and fall of a once-thriving industrial town known for its cultural diversity and immigrant population. Established in 1898, Monessen became a powerhouse of steel production, fostering community and the American dream through hard-fought labor rights. However, as foreign imports and mill closures devastated the economy, the vibrant neighborhoods began to disintegrate, leading to a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of prosperity and the impact of industrial decline on families and communities.
