Sarah and her father, Paul, have fled NYC and are hiding in plain sight as Mary and Paul Tate in upstate, NY. It’s eight years after the successful January 6th insurrection and anyone who isn’t White and Christian has fled the country or been “disappeared.”
They’ve almost made it through their first year when, late one night, an ancient, Yiddish-speaking woman is deposited on their doorstep with a note, “It’s your turn to hide her. Good luck.” They must grapple with whether to protect her or turn her in and save themselves.
SARAH — 17. Called MARY in hiding. A high school senior. Brilliant, passionate and desperate. Needs a future to believe in. Reveres her dangerously outspoken mother.
PAUL — Her father. A sweet, peaceful, gentle man, challenged by circumstances beyond his imagining. He’s lost his wife, his home, his work, and will do anything to keep his daughter safe.
JOHN — 17. Her boyfriend. A high school senior who has almost never left his tiny town and is expected to take over the family farm. Bright and curious and torn between his role as inspector and his love for Mary.
CHAVA — Speaks Yiddish. 1,000 years old. Exhausted by this role she didn’t ask for, but always with a sense of humor.
Place
A kitchen/living room in an old house in the fictional town of Granville in Upstate, NY. Jesus or a crucifix hangs on each wall.
Time
May, 2029. A few years after the January 6th insurrection, if just a few things had shifted.
