Terrance Farmer is a Pittsburgh journalist dying to get an interview with Archibald Lancaster, multi-billionaire coal baron. He's also dying to get at Archie's handsome, college-aged son. When he blackmails Archie for his entire fortune, things between the three of them get tense - and Terry and Archie embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s classic GOD BLESS YOU, MR. ROSEWATER, AND FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS is loosely based on the real-life events surrounding the coal spill at the Inez, Kentucky surface mine in October 2001.
