"How pretty the sky is! I ought to go there on a rocket that never comes down."

On a street in New Orleans, in the blistering summer heat, a sister spirals.

As Stella’s husband Stanley stalks closer to the truth, Blanche's fragile world begins to fracture. Reality and illusion collide and a violent conflict changes their lives forever.
