Jen is living alone in a half-empty house, struggling with depression and how to deal with the hand life has dealt her. A freak accident has her locked in the basement as a major thunderstorm begins flooding the house.
A bridge spanning a river collapses during rush hour. Eight years later, the lives of four people, impacted by the tragedy and on the run from their personal demons, intersect in THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, a Polish bar. It's the feast of St. Casimir, the Patron Saint of Poland, and the biggest party of the year in this Nordeast Minneapolis dive where desire, guilt, ambition and fear are served up with pierogies, Polish vodka, polka music and, maybe, a shot of redemption.
