Think the fifties were times of relative peace, prosperity, and innocence? Think again....The downtown merchants in small town Ismay, Wisconsin, close up shop at 5:00 p.m. But behind each locked door lies a world far different from the one their night watchman experiences. As Marcus Silverthorn diligently oversees the businesses after hours, he uncovers secrets and misgivings of the more socially advantageous, a group he determines to belong to someday. For the time being, Marcus keeps that confidential information secure in his mental repertoire. How long it stays there is anyone's guess.Get ready to join the night watchman under the night skies on his rounds. You'll discover evidence of unexpected loss, pride, hope, risk, and salvation. From a local businessman...to an aspiring singer...and with a rambunctious teenager. All in search of redemption, coupled with a leap of faith, in a town where destiny belongs to everyone. UNLOCKING FEDORAS looks into the lives of the fortunate, and those of the less privileged, in the noir period of the mid-twentieth century. Where life wasn't always what it seemed.
