HOGTOWN is set in 1919 Chicago against the backdrop of the race riots of that year. The story follows an investigation into the disappearance of a millionaire theatre owner during a snowstorm. HOGTOWN is a murder mystery that celebrates the most American of American cities while exploring the intimate lives of many of its people. This period piece is much more a period-less piece, shot in black and white in the often undisguised contemporary city. The film involves a multi-racial, ensemble cast of more than 70 characters, a full symphony orchestra score, and evolves directly from the ensemble process of the making our previous feature, Chicago Heights (now The Last Soul on a Summer Night). 　　译文(2): 《温泉城》背景设定在1919年的芝加哥，背景是当年的种族骚乱。故事发生在对一位百万富翁剧院老板在暴风雪中失踪的调查之后。HOGTOWN 是一个神秘的谋杀案，庆祝最美国的美国城市，同时探索其许多人的私密生活。这个时期的作品更多的是一个没有时期的作品，在黑白拍摄往往毫不掩饰的当代城市。这部电影由70多个角色组成的多种族合唱团演出，交响乐团配乐完整，直接从我们上一部电影《芝加哥高地》(现为《夏夜最后的灵魂》)的合唱过程演变而来。
