Well it's not
a small town in Montana, but it is a small city somewhere in
middle America. The name comes from the fact that the
protagonist is thought killed at the end of Act One, which
starts a chain reaction of bad things happening in town. He
comes back to try to straighten things out after his best
friend is murdered:
> PETE
> ... He's dead, and if I had told myself the
truth
> long ago, he might still be alive. I never had the
stomach for politics --
> crooked or straight. That's why I never did anything
with that evidence: I
> never had the guts. I never even had the guts to
turn it over to someone
> like Dan, someone who would do something with
it.

> ANNE
> Don't torture yourself, Pete. There's nothing
you

> PETE
> We'll see about that. I've already been
murdered
> once, and I've lived through it. I died again when
Dan did. And the way I

that evidence rot in my

standing here now, today, as

to help us but each

> ANNE
> That's not true. You've got plenty of
friends.

> PETE
> No, you were right. I didn't see it until now.

If anyone
would like to read the rest, please let me know. I'd be happy
to send it to you.
