About the Show

A dark tale of power– who has it, who wants it, and what people are willing to do to get it.

This new neo-noir musical by Michael Finke tells the stories of four Florida residents over the course of one 24 hour period. There’s the well-off housewife on the run Rachel, rising campaign press secretary Jacob, newly released convict David, and fast-food cashier/internet troll Karen.

Driven by choral narration and a synth-based pop rock score, these different characters deal with multiple threats ranging from the topsy-turvy world of social media to the corruption of the private prison industrial complex, all while discovering what it means to take power into their own hands.
