Charley Cade appears to belong to one race yet chooses to identify with another. Cast off in Louisiana in the late 1800's by the affluent part of his family, he is raised by those with which he becomes most comfortable. And there is no turning back, or is there? Power, control, love, faith and fear all collide as unwittingly, Charley's choice calls into question not only his values and loyalties but also those of most everyone he encounters. Based on a true story.

This play is part of the "Dream Up Festival"; a theater festival that takes place at the Theater for the New City (TNC) from August 8 to September 5, 2010.
