The story focuses on the aspirations of two young men who meet in a mental hospital. The colorful people they meet inside and the two very different struggles they both are trying to overcome also drive the plot.

The lives of society’s forgotten population are explored in this new musical. Unforgettable characters do more than exist within such institutions: they strive for greatness, seek genuine connections, and struggle to find a place in the world…hoping to maintain their sanity.
