by Deborah Yarchun
A community of truckers in a small town in Iowa are forced to shift gears when they lose their jobs to self - driving vehicles. When Gloria becomes the only trucker in town still employed, resentments begin to surface. Set in a future not far down the road, Drive explores our collective fears.
With original songs by Hannah Fairchild.
