“A mature, beautiful, and overwhelmingly empathetic play that genuinely gives us perspectives we rarely get to see on stage.”
— THEATERMANIA.COM

A masterful story that argues for hope.

Inside a cubicle in a small office in southern Idaho, two men find themselves bound together as they struggle to balance the confounding terms on a loan. Through the hardships and hilarities of parenthood, economic pressures, and personal dreams, their evolving friendship becomes a profound exploration of human connection, faith, and the search for meaning in everyday life.
