Hurricane Elijah has closed down all the roads in this small town in Texas. A disparate group of people take refuge in a TGIFridays restaurant. It’s low on staff, with little food but loaded with revelatory exchanges between both intimates and strangers. Weather permitting, a high-profile execution is scheduled which will impact many. Mercy and violence are not easy to reconcile in this little corner of the world. Elijah tells the story of a brave young woman who wants to reconcile with her past — so she can free her future. A very human dramedy by the critically acclaimed writer of Showpony.
