Angels Awake

ANGELS AWAKE follows the Rhodes Family for a day in late August of 1984, as small farmers in the San Joaquin Valley of California face financial ruin from rain and recession, approaching perhaps their last fall harvest - after a blazing summer of foreclosures, anniversaries, presidential campaigns, conventions in San Francisco and Dallas, the Olympics in L.A. and America and the Soviet Union locked in a Cold War. Delmus and Kyla Rhodes and their daughter, Kate, and mysterious visitor Dolly Mable, face together the most fateful hours of their lives when inner and outer storms piling high for years threaten and culminate in final fear and truth during the short hours of Delmus Rhodes' annual Harvest Party.
