Based on Storrow’s own authentic experience, this wholly original new musical follows protagonist Sam Crow as he faces the loss of his relentlessly hopeful mother. He escapes to the only place that makes sense – the imaginary island of his childhood. With help from a wise-cracking prophet, a swaggering ship captain, and a star-gazing poetess, Sam sets off on a journey to claim his sovereignty… if he can only put the pieces back together in time.
