With soaring music and a deeply moving story, the musical tells of the spirited locals of Gander and the stranded passengers who unexpectedly came together in the wake of September 11th, 2001. From tragedy emerged extraordinary kindness, humanity and community, forging friendships that would last a lifetime.
