The safety net

de Christopher Kyle

"In the wake of his adopted brother's death, David must reevaluate who he is and how far he will go to save his brother's family: a family he never knew existed. Neglecting his own marriage and a promising New York City law career, he returns home to Indianapolis to uncover the secrets to his brother's past, leading him to his own uncertain future. Mr. Kyle has crafted a smart, funny and brutally honest look into those oh-so tricky American questions of race, class and family"--Broken Watch Theatre Company website.
