Reseña: At the turn of the twentieth century Nathan Walker comes to New York City to take the most dangerous job in the country: digging the tunnel far beneath the Hudson that will carry trains from Brooklyn to Manhattan. In the bowels of the riverbed the workers - black white Irish and Italian - dig together the darkness erasing all differences. But above ground the men keep their distance until a dramatic accident on a bitter winters day welds a bond between Walker and his fellow workers that will both bless and curse three generations. Almost ninety years later Treefrog stumbles on the same tunnels and sets about creating a home amongst the drug addicts alcoholics prostitutes and petty criminals that comprise the forgotten homeless community.
