This marvelously theatrical play is the story of a disturbed young man and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930s. The young man is deathly afraid of water after nearly drowning as a boy, in an accident that took the life of his mother. The preacher, set on breaking away from a long line of Kentucky family preachers, is determined not to do what he does best. As a result, he works as a mechanic for the boy’s father. The town doesn’t have a preacher and the women try to persuade him to preach – while he tries to persuade the child to wash. When the preacher finally gets the boy in the river and is washing him, the townspeople mistake the scene for a baptism. In a tragic turn of events, they descend upon the scene and, in the confusion, the boy drowns.
