The story takes place on September 30, 1975 not far from the town of Marfa, where the movie, "Giant" was filmed. Located in McCarthy, Texas, is the Krestmont 5 and Dime. A group of childhood friends known as the "Disciples of James Dean" gather together to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the night in which James Dean died in an auto accident. Through flashbacks of their past, the characters relive the events of that fateful night in 1955 when the idol of their youth crashed his Porsche on a California highway. Through the course of the evening they are each faced with the lies they have told and the secrets they have kept from one another all these years. Though poignant in it's content, Mr. Graczyk conveys his story using much love and laughter. He has had a very successful career in the theater as a director, designer, administrator and playwright. This is the most famous of Mr. Graczyk's works as a playwright.
