A drunken kiss, an icy plunge, and a reckless act of revenge.
In this world premiere production, playwright Kristen Palmer takes on the issues of global climate change through the lens of a family on the verge of a meltdown. Brilliant scientist Stevie returns home in the midst of a devastating personal crisis, only to find her family members frozen in isolation and her hometown losing its footing. Emergency actions are taken that threaten this tiny and fragile ecosystem.
