In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Stories From Home consists of twelve often-heard tales from their countries of origin. Most of these tales are rarely recounted here in America. Characters from these pieces include: the West Indian trickster, Anansi, who outwits even himself; an Egyptian thief who tries to cheat the Angel of Death; and the American folk hero Harriet Tubman, who walks a perilous line to freedom.
