‘There is something in the air that makes sleep useless.' Alice, our British protagonist, arrives in New York City fresh out of school and full of naïve hope and imagination of what the next 89 Nights (the length of her visa) will bring. Away for the first time in her life, from home, from family and everything that made her who she is, we explore her coming-of-age story. Through humour, wit and song, we are looking for the answer to that pessimistic question, ‘If you know when it's going to end, what's the point in starting?'
