When their father is murdered, two brothers have opposing strategies for avenging his death. Maria Di Aquino draws from her childhood in small town Sicily to weave this inter-generational tale of a poor family on the verge of imploding. Told in equal parts Italian and English, this inaugural work by Di Aquino is both gut-wrenching and raw.
