Set in a small Iowa town, the story follows a group of men with intellectual disabilities who live in an old schoolhouse and work at a turkey processing plant. Their grueling routine involves early morning shifts for meager pay, food, and shelter, highlighting themes of exploitation and resilience. The narrative captures their daily lives, reflecting on their struggles and the harsh realities of their existence over the years, reminiscent of Dickensian social commentary.
