A deadly and
strange disaster ...
It's been four years since Carmen and Papa moved
from Italy to Boston. Life here is exciting, but not always easy. And
then there's the massive metal tank that rises up over their crowded
North End neighbourhood. The ugly tank, filled with sticky brown
molasses, has always leaked. But nobody imagined that it could one day
explode apart, sending a tsunami of molasses into the streets.
Caught in
the flood, Carmen must fight for her life -- the life that she and Papa
built together in America. But will she find the strength?
