In a rural part of southeastern Louisiana, Mahala, raised by her parrain Takoda, became an upwardly-mobile professional and upon losing him realizes all she has worked so hard to achieve has not satiated her. Wanting to connect on a deeper level and live the values he instilled in her, she became a psychiatric nurse and set her sights on a French Quarter bluesman she realizes is unhoused and wants desperately to help. But as she seeks to get to the bottom of his trauma, what does one do when they realize the one helping them needs help too? Post-show talk-back including the playwright, director, actors and subject matter experts, moderated by John David West every Sunday that the show runs.
