Warehouse under the Hudson (2012, NY Premiere)

Warehouse under the Hudson is the story of a young woman who obsesses over a moment from her past and wonders where a different choice would have led her.  She meets the Scavenger, who has collected her past and stored it in his warehouse beneath the Hudson River. He offers her special moment back to her with a deal: her beautiful past - her moment - in exchange for her future.
