A used car salesman, a dentist, a real estate agent, a financial advisor, a deli owner and a music teacher get together once a week to play jazz
It's the highlight of their lives
But when one answers an ad and gets a two week gig in the Catskills, they shed their ordinary lives and begin an adventure that reveals truths about friendship, the joy of music and the importance of dreams
The gig is not what they expected and each returns from the Catskills changed by the experience
NOTE: The actors do not need to play instruments - they mime their performances
