The Riveter and The American Dream

When a young biracial woman working as a Riveter during World War II learns the location of her birth mother, she leaves her job and sets off on a whimsical musical journey across the country.

Along the way she experiences the tapestry of American Culture, from its greatest achievements to its unspoken atrocities.

Ultimately, she must choose between her longing for family or duty to country while fighting for her place in The American Dream.
