| When a young producer stumbles into town looking for stories and a fresh start, he believes he's found both in Ruth. Her made-for-TV tale captures his attention -- a broke young widow in a rural Kentucky town, unable to access the trust fund set up for her children after her husband's murder. But neither of them has told the other the whole truth, and a past tainted by racism threatens to destroy Ruth's already shaky existence. This story is interspersed with memorable monologues from fans and critics of The Dukes of Hazzard, who blow apart the Southern stereotypes that tend to define Ruth's world. |

| "Moore, a native Texan who now lives in Minneapolis, has both the authority and the distance to write on such a deeply-felt topic ... She's written a thought-provoking play that inspires thorough contemplation." |
