Ken Hoyle is an ambitious hatchet man for a multinational company that sells defective baby formula in developing African countries. His wife Barbara advises other young executive wives on life in the third world. Their days as idealistic Peace Corps volunteers are far behind them – physically and metaphorically – and the succession of moral compromises has taken its toll. Jon Robin Baitz weaves a timely tale of corporate misdeeds, personal tragedy, and marital discord that takes us into the private thoughts of a man and a woman searching for answers and aching for redemption.

The less-than-dutiful executive wife, speaking of her upwardly bound husband, observes that “firing people has become sort of a prayer” for him. This poetic fusing of corporate cruelty and humble religious faith gives off a small taserish shock. It’s a zinger that you can imagine being wielded with bright and withering contempt by a worldly woman with a savage smile.
