Description
Dmytryk was a respectable man, once: college-educated, happily married and with a stable job at a car factory in Detroit. He was the king of the world with nowhere to go but up. But when a crippling recession annihilated the car industry, Dmytryk and his wife Cora suddenly found themselves without jobs. And after two years of trying to live honestly, they began to realise that honesty just doesn't pay the bills.
