Lina, a young waitress, and Roberto, an Italian immigrant, have been working together for years but rarely talk. If they do, it’s from a distance or gets lost in translation. But when they find themselves alone in the restaurant during a late-night thunderstorm, their lives begin to intersect in surprising and mystical ways. Three alternate realities unfold as Lina and Roberto discover the unusual ways the universe conspires to bring them together. Fate plays its hand in this romantic play that features original songs and music.
