Michigan. Present day. Jimmy Vandenburg, ex-Ford factory car worker, works alone in his garage servicing the classic American cars of his youth. 

A decorated Vietnam War veteran, Jimmy feels his service to his country is ignored. Trump's call to 'Make America Great Again' appeals to his disillusionment but his new-found politics drives a wedge between him and his wife and daughter. Then a chance visit by the son of a fallen comrade makes him doubt his convictions. 

This multi-layered, humorous and intensely moving solo play, by award-winning actor-playwright Richard Vergette, is a timely exploration of how populist politics seduce the disillusioned and the disaffected.
