An abiding testament to what's so good about being bad in the world of fiction. Ben and Oscar Hubbard and their married sister, Regina, are the new American entrepreneurs: unscrupulous, crass and mercenary. They are money-grubbers who will steal from their customers, destroy their town and sacrifice the environment in pursuit of a fortune. A lucrative deal with a northern manufacturer sets them conniving against each other. A taut and delicious drama of the corrupting power of wealth on a family.

COST: $250
AGES: 14-18
