Two young professionals with promising careers become jobless and seek work where they can find it. The two young men meet for the first time when they are among the few picked for an arduous day job. There begins an adventure that takes them to a Jersey City railyard, where they are introduced to the Hobo life by an enigmatic homeless man. The story unfolds from there and follows the two as they settle in a small, prosperous city in southern New York state. The city serves as a transportation hub amid the blossoming oil and financial industries, is home to a major university, and tolerates the title of "Little Chicago" as a neutral ground for the Mafia. The two young men gather a unique, eclectic blend of new friends and embrace young, old, and culturally diverse people. Life-threatening situations arise when an old antagonist appears, and a jealous competitor seeks revenge. This piece of historical fiction from the annals of the "Great Depression" is a love story and a story of mystery and intrigue. It is a story of humanity surviving hard, hard times.
