Jose Antigo

Set in rural Iowa, where a munitions factory serves as the only industry for miles around, Jose Antigo begins when a stranger turns up at a local diner known more for its small-town gossip than its coffee and daily specials. In just a few days the eponymous stranger begins to play a vital role at the diner, so much so that its matron, Betty, defends his character when mysterious events begin to happen around town. For some people in town, however, Jose Antigo’s racial and physical Otherness is too much to bear, let alone to trust.
