"Though the story would seem to occur in an ordinary kitchen where a single mother tiptoes her way around the challenges of grocery-shopping and speaking to her teenage son, it happens in a strangely altered time zone where quotidian details like radios, refrigerators and dogs are guided by their own cosmic logic.
Its a morning that wants to be just like any other day but never can be.
Its a day when the failure of love and brain chemistry turns into chaos for a boy, a mother, a town.
In describing the tormented teenager, Bailey , his mother and the mysterious visitors who crash-land at their breakfast table, Yockey takes us to queasy, uncomfortable and highly complex emotional places. Imbuing his ripped-from-the-headlines material with the horrific impulse of Tracy Letts and Martin McDonagh with a dash of Tony Kushners hushed and prophetic intelligence Yockey delivers an American tragedy as important as it is disturbing."
