This collection of five original stories deals with trying to find a place to call home. Each story looks at Long Island twenty-somethings who want to recapture what they once had in the suburban sprawl in which they grew up. Some are wandering around the country---on a bus in Michigan, stuck in an airport in Texas---trying to make their way back home. Some are living in New York City and are dealing with the realities of growing up and letting go. Some have come back only to realize that the desire for flight is still inside them. Some want back the home they once knew and are unable to see what is still there around them. They all want to go back to a time and place they once had, but instead they find themselves stuck between what home was and what it is now.
