Set just before the Civil Rights and Women's movements, this play tells a story of an African American family living in a crowded apartment on Chicago's south side in the 1950s.

When the Younger family receives a large life insurance check, the promise of a better life seems to be just around the corner.

But the family struggles with conflicting ideas about how to use the money, and their plans to buy a home in an all-white neighborhood are thwarted by racial intolerance.
