Set in and around San Francisco, DAYBREAK is an intricate musical with a lush contemporary score, about the dark places people may go when they are faced with life's unexpected changes and challenges. Without giving away any of the twists and turns, DAYBREAK focuses on "...two couples...two time periods...one bridge."
