Working Man

Synopsis

When the last factory in a small Rust Belt town closes its doors, an unlikely hero emerges in dutiful, quiet Allery Parkes (Peter Gerety, HBO’s “The Wire”). A career employee of the factory, the aging Allery can’t reconcile how to live a life simply sitting at home doing nothing, and against the advice and pleas of his loving wife, Iola (two-time Oscar nominee Talia Shire, “Rocky,” “The Godfather”), he forms an unlikely friendship with his charismatic neighbor, Walter Brewer (Billy Brown, ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder”), in order to revive the defunct factory.
