Synopsis: | Situated midpoint between Manhattan and Long Island's glamorous East End, the working-class town of Lake Ronkonkoma is harboring untapped potential. Can a calculating real estate agent get rich by persuading Suffolk County legislature to change the name "Lake Ronkonkoma" to the more upscale-sounding "Mid-Hampton?" How does the bi-polar Native American shapeshifter lurking around town feel about this? Also, can the dirtbags who sneak cigarettes behind the 7-11 be convinced to help the cause? Perhaps most vexing, is the 106-year-old Lake Ronkonkomian who loves flaunting pictures of her young self at long-forgotten Ku Klux Klan meetings, which were held at a lakeside pavilion in the 1920s. A story based on fact. Kind of. | |||||
