The Civil War is over, but the scabs it left still itch. A fox stalks the clearing behind the Auberts' home, hunting chickens. A love triangle goes horribly wrong, and a family is destroyed. The pieces cannot be put back together: the survivors must build something new. In the absence of God, community, morality, on the edge of the woods that ring with the devil's whistle, two sisters must embrace the power of renouncing everything.

A co-production by The Renovationists, The Tank, and Parity Productions

"It’s a monumental work. A colossal saga... It has a filmic quality to it that comes to us in episodes that fade in and out of our current reality –almost like a memory from a past life."
- Jacquelyn Claire, Stage Biz

“..makes you believe in the possibilities of flowers bursting out of wreckage”
 - Ran Xia, Theatre Is Easy
