“Lock your windows. Hide your daughters. Say your prayers.”

A Hollywood crew pulls into a small Vermont town to shoot a movie, and the trucks, trailers and schedules land on a place that was not expecting any of it.

David Mamet writes the whole town talking in his clipped, overlapping rhythms, so the locals and the visitors sound like one crowd.
