In this heartfelt yet fantastical homage to Chicago, award-winning playwright Ike Holter introduces us to a quartet of \"average\" citizens who have been the victims of violence and felt powerless because of it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the face of the city's seemingly intractable ills, the play's characters join forces to rescue Chicago--and themselves.
