"Oil. Blood. Memories. Legacy."
A play told out of sequence through the eyes of Bo Legend, a man trying to discern how he came to such a low point in his life. Raised as a farmer and now forced into the oil business as the boom hits Smackover, Arkansas, Bo Legend has come home to face what's left of his family - his father and brother who suspect him of unspeakable things and his daughter he abandoned just days after her birth.
As Bo shuffles through the memories of a life of rebellion and self-isolation, he recalls the people and moments that haunt him the most - the first meeting with his eventual wife Lily, the “accidental” death of the man to whom she was married, their courtship and disintegration, and finally, the struggle to make things right in the eyes of those who once loved him unconditionally. This showdown with his remaining family members is Bo's last chance to find absolution in a world he can't seem to find his place.
