Because of the severe downturn in the travel industry after the tragic events of 9/11, Alex Livingston is transferred from his dream job in a luxurious Honolulu hotel to his company's downtown business property in Brooklyn, where he must face the family he ran away from years earlier and a city still reeling from the horrific attack.
While adjusting to life in Brooklyn, Alex discovers that its denizens are not just trying to make sense of a world gone mad, but dealing with day to day issues in their multicultural neighborhood in Boerum Hill.
Alex befriends a firefighter, Ryan Callahan, who is haunted by his role in the events of 9/11. Through Ryan and his firehouse comrades, Alex comes to terms with the bizarre turns his life has taken and has new hope for the future.
