Frank Patton and his family return to his small home-town in Indiana to hang his lawyer shingle and escape corporate drudgery in Chicago. Waiting for him is a corrupt mayor, a shady preacher, a brutal police force, his wife Elizabeth's mental illness, and his own tricky gag reflex. Joining forces with him are the members of the Shakespeare Round Table. Librarian Margaret Head, quietly influencing the small-town culture while protecting her dark secrets. Twin sisters Joan and Charlene Cobb, or are they brothers? Cerebral high school science teacher, Grant Hamm, examining the truth of his own heart. Wendell, a savant with limitless memory. And, a four-hundred-year-old playwright. In October of tumultuous 1968, Frank and the monthly Shakespeare Round Table must clandestinely track down the town thievery, solve a murder, expose the criminal corruption that leads far beyond the small town's city limits, and save Frank's wife Elizabeth from madness. In the process, they all must confront the truth within themselves.
