Synopsis

In a balkanized near-future America divided between repressive rural heartlands and decadent coastal cities, a young man named Daniel Weinreb dreams of achieving 'flight' — a mysterious transcendent state attained through singing. His quest takes him from the fundamentalist Midwest to the anarchic culture of New York in a biting satire that skewers American society with dark wit and surprising tenderness.
