Story

The season is long, the summer is brutal.

In 1948, the Trouths are facing no income and the hottest summer on record. When their estranged son inexplicably returns, the apartment is full again - but is it big enough for the gambling, trauma, and substantial life insurance policy that comes in his wake?
