Set in Volta Redonda, a Brazilian steel town established in the 1940s, the narrative explores the profound impact of the Companha Siderurgica Nacional (CSN) on its residents. Once a beacon of modernization, the steel industry now embodies a complex legacy, intertwining wealth and dispossession. The book delves into the lives of those connected to CSN, revealing their fears, hopes, and daily challenges as they navigate a changing economic landscape and grapple with the consequences of a once-thriving industrial powerhouse.
