Laurel Wright and Wes Lunsford of The Young Fables are an award winning Americana duo determined to make it big in Nashville, Tennessee alongside thousands of talented musicians. Manager Patryk Larney decides to shoot some footage of Laurel, Wes and cowriter Dean Fields to use for a short social media project. While cameras roll, tragedy strikes, and Wes and Laurel's lives change in the blink of an eye. Three years later the entire tragic story is finally told by weaving footage of the cowriting sessions, archival film and interviews with notable songwriters, musicians and thinkers.

The documentary explores the impact of depression and the challenges of overcoming unexpected tragedy. The film showcases how The Young Fables’ unique story has helped them to acquire a national platform to raise awareness of mental health issues. The film features Grammy Award winning producer Mitch Dane, television personality Chuck Wicks, and internationally recognized psychologist Dr. August Leming. 

Producer Patryk Larney said, “The universe handed me a big responsibility to tell this unique story. I can say for certain that my biggest accomplishment was assembling the right team.” Director Andy Strohl added,“I wanted to use my gift as a storyteller to help make some sense of the pain we all experience in life. Until we’re able to face our suffering, happiness might elude us, that is the over arching theme of this special film.”
