Some roads are paved, others are made of steel, and a few exist only in the melodies we carry with us. This fictional tale is a story of connection, about a wandering musician named Zack, whose life on the rails spanned decades and continents, and a young pianist, Sarah, whose structured world was forever changed by the freedom of his music.****
