Synopsis:

Rural West Virginia, 1962.  Fourteen year-old Pete’s fighting to claim his past.  His older brother Jake’s hoping to forge a future.  With an eclectic band of friends teetering on the brink of adulthood, they’ve embarked on a life-altering journey to the coalmine that took their father’s life. With its soaring, elegiac bluegrass and pop-inspired score, this inspirational new musical finds both the streaks of light and the heart of darkness within us all.
