Ben Benson is having the worst ten days of his life.
His girlfriend dumped him.
He got fired from his coffee shop job.
His rent is overdue.
His dad is dying.
And somehow, he still has to finish writing a musical before investors shut the whole thing down.
Living in New York City with nothing but bad luck, unfinished lyrics, and way too many drinks, Ben spends every day trying not to completely fall apart while the city keeps moving without him.
between disastrous rehearsals, awkward run-ins with his ex, hospital visits at 2 a.m., and emotional breakdowns disguised as jokes, Ben slowly realizes the musical he's writing might actually be about his own life.
Funny, messy, emotional, and painfully real, BEN is a story about grief, art, love, failure, and learning how to survive even when everything keeps going wrong.
Because sometimes your life has to completely fall apart before the music finally makes sense.
