This is a contemporary musical about connections missed and made at tourist destinations across America ...

A wanderer believes his destiny is written on rooftops along the North Carolina Interstate

A young man yearns to connect with intelligent life in Roswell, New Mexico

A woman at the Alamo steps out of the shadow of her grandparents' idealized romance to take a chance on love

Three estranged sisters cruise to Glacier Bay to scatter their father's ashes

Two high school boys face unexpected fears in the Coney Island Spook House

And a terrified bride-to-be ponders taking the leap - over Niagara Falls!

With a score [not included] that incorporates pop, rock, folk and more, each story builds on the last to create a vivid travelogue of Americans learning to overcome their fears and expectations in order to connect
