In “Shotgun,” set four months after the collapse of defective levees in New Orleans, a white man and his teenage son, having lost their house to the flood, rent half of a shotgun double from an African-American woman, whose father has lost his home in the Lower Ninth Ward and moved in with her. Even living under one roof, though, they find a wall still runs between them. But like the city’s levees, can it, too, be breached?
