Determined to live on tears and a shrinking bank account no longer, in the wake of a global pandemic and a shattered economy, Lena Green takes a job in the male-dominated industry of heavy machinery to make ends meet while caring for a dying mother. Fighting back against the gropes, the snide comments, the dirt, the grime, the danger and the hungry looks that batter her every day, Lena, is determined to prove to herself and others like her, and femininity doesn't mean weakness; that looking pretty isn't a girl's only aspiration, and that just taking it, isn't the only option.
