"At the turn of the nineteenth century, the city of Cleveland was booming, but the city's bright prospects came at a terrible cost. This original graphic novel imagines the lives of blue-colar workers involved in the real-life Lake Erie in Cleveland. Author Scott MacGregor and illustratorGary Dumm have created the intersecting stories of a brilliant African American inventor, Ben Beltran (based on the real-life Garrett Morgan, Sr.),the desperate immigrants tunneling beneath Lake Erie, and the corrupt overseers who risk countless lives for profit. In MacGregor's tale, set in July 1916, all work on the tunnels has been put on hold after countless fatal accidents. However, after relentless pressure from high-ranking politicians, a team of expert tunnelers, known as Sandhogs, are bribed into resuming work. When disaster strikes, many of the men killed by a fiery explosion and those who survived are trapped far below the surface of the earth. With time rapidly running out, city officials have no choice but to turn to the inventor Ben Beltran, who is the only hope for the living Sandhogs."--Provided by publishe
