A brilliant reimagining of the story and characters in David Copperfield transported from poverty-stricken Victorian London to a poor community in the southern Appalachians in the midst of the opioid crisis. Demon is born to a single mother in an abandoned trailer 'like a little blue prizefighter'. He will need that fighting spirit, buckets of charm and a quick wit to survive. Epic, fantastic, gripping, angry, powerful, electrifying - all of these!
