Breakdown
SYNOPSIS
JOE is a Native American homeless man looking for a fight. LIZ is a Texas
pageant queen looking for a cause. The entangled journey of this very unlikely
combo leads us into dark, knife-pulling underpasses, and the bright lights of the
Miss Texas stage. JORDAN, LIZ’s African American love interest, completes this
tricky triangle. With fiddle in hand, LIZ weaves us in and out of this unique
perspective on homelessness and racism in America, but most importantly, on
what it means to become family.
