EL DORADO DRIVE

Brittany Pressley's engaging performance builds mounting tension and dread as three sisters become trapped in a moneymaking scheme. In Detroit, where the auto industry has long since collapsed and families struggle to make ends meet, Brooke is given an opportunity that's almost too good to be true. She joins her sisters in "The Wheel," a secret group of women who are on a mission to help each other financially--off the books. New members bring thousands of dollars (the "price of admission") and then recruit new members, eventually receiving a big payout. When an absent ex-husband shows up, cracks begin to appear. Pressley skillfully embodies the voices of the women, some confident, some unsure, some keeping secrets of their own. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
