During the late fall of 2015, members of Life Jacket travelled to southern Florida to interview the residents of Miracle Village, a rural community for sex offenders buried deep in sugarcane fields. 

The team has transformed its research into a moving and unflinching play about darkness, uncertainty, and the painful process of healing in small-town America.

This play uses a fusion of personal interviews and found text crafted by Travis Russ, award winning playwright and director, as well as traditional Methodist hymns and original songs composed and arranged by Priscilla Holbrook, from the band Susan Jane.
