Working Man

In the Rust Belt of America another factory is closing. After decades on the job, the reclusive Allery Parkes finds himself out of work. Allery attempts to bide his time. However, despite the best efforts of his wife, a loose-ended existence just doesn’t take and he starts sneaking into the closed factory. At first, Allery does this alone, but in time he gains an unexpected ally in a passionate former co-worker who turns on the electricity and turns up the volume in Allery’s previously secluded cocoon. Soon, other former employees want in on the action. They all take occupancy and restart production in an effort to pressure their bosses to reopen the facility. For the first time, Allery is the man in charge. However, when truths are revealed, this working man must confront the loss and pain he’s been working so hard to avoid.
