The Green Ghetto

Mitchell Hosowich is pleased as a puppy with two tails that the great American rust-out has rendered parts of Detroit rural again wild. For him the Green Ghetto as the bureaucrats have come to call it is a safe place to grow some fairly decent Detroit dope. But when two DEA agents start sniffing around his spread only to wind up dead Mitchell finds himself with a lot of explaining to do. Left with two stiffs a dead dog a shot cow and fifty-nine missing marijuana plants Mitchell decides not to wait around for the law to come down on him. Instead he goes after his stolen pot a chase that becomes a tense and at times hilarious cross-border road trip to nearby rural Canada. Set in a hyper post-9/11 culture The Green Ghetto explores the universal theme of being compromised. But mostly it is the story of how America got here from there in the war on drugs terror and words.
