They secretly milk the landowner’s cow at the dead of night, making tasty scones, sold like hot buns. This lucrative and inventive enterprise is not risk-free, though. A suspenseful tale of hubris, chicanery, and many-sided exploitation, tinged with delicious undertones of sarcasm, which dissects the Americana foundations.
