In a complex world a man can wake up and realize he has chosen the wrong road, realize he is not happy with his life. Another man might find himself stuck the time warp of some life-changing event. A Song in the Park is the story of two such men.
Justin Brooks realized something was not right as he watched his beautiful bride come down the aisle. He panicked, fled, became a pariah in his own east Texas home town. Confused by the demons that kept the answers hidden, he bummed around Texas and ended up in Big Bend, working as a park ranger and living a solitary life.
Fifteen hundred miles away, Michael Anderson, a San Diego surgeon, lost an eight year old girl on the operating table. He had stayed out the night before, indulging his misguided lifestyle. Rightfully so, he blamed himself for the little girl’s death. He vowed to abandon his profession, abandon the endless bathhouse sojourns, the countless faceless men. He would leave San Diego and set out to find himself and start a new life.
Heading east, driving through the vast west Texas desert, he discovered the inspiring beauty and mystery of the Big Bend, where he located a secluded place on the Rio Grande and built a small campfire for coffee.
Four days later, driving his routine patrol of the River Road, Justin spotted the illegal campsite and stopped to write a citation. After a few awkward moments, somewhere in their conscious minds, both men realized, in addition to an intriguing man, they were looking at the answer to many unanswered questions. A friendship was born.
