"Is it braggin' to say I saved a town?" It was 1972, one of the hottest summers on record in Opp, Alabama: The City of Opportunity. Everyone was talking about how hot it was and not much else, The closest large town's TV station antenna being down and they couldn't watch their shows. It didn't take much to set people off. Everything was a little faster to happen and ripple through the small community -population 6,493. Twelve-year-old Oliver Ellison loves his summers with his grandparents. Riding his bike here and there between his grandmothers' lessons on becoming a gentleman, Oliver is seemingly invisible to adults, so he manages to overhear a lot. One of his favorite stops is the gas station of his miserly and misanthropic old-maid great uncles. It is here that one evening he witnesses the conversation that ultimately sets off the spark of disagreement between the two old brothers, igniting the town as everyone chooses sides. Narrated by the now fourteen-year-old Oliver, along with an omniscient third person, what follows is a pairing of the absurd with the sentimental as Oliver tries desperately to tell the truth of what he heard, and bring Opp back to its simple, magical place as the City of Opportunity.
