Description

This world premiere from Rajiv Joseph (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) tells the story of a Peace Corps volunteer who survives a mysterious car accident on the eve of Y2K and a State Department official who intercedes to ensure his safety. From there, these two strangers' lives intersect in ways neither could have expected.
