I’m Shelly Owen. I was born and raised here in The Little Big Town, living in Salt Springs for the past 30 years, but remaining an active member of my hometown community. How fun to have my “stage” debut on the showcase floor of the Ford Place, transformed into a high-dollar 1920’s gin-joint called The Gilded Cage. My character Jules is financing this establishment from behind the scenes and under the prohibition radar. Am I a killer, trying for a total takeover? Or just a misunderstood family protector, as mystified as the rest? We’re all on edge to find out!
