A man's obsession with having more and more to offer his childhood sweetheart, takes from her the only thing she ever really wanted; him.  

SYNOPSIS:

What has a man gained if he acquires the world and loses his soul mate? A question Andy McGough anguishes over every day of his life since he left his one and only love, Susan, back in Beaverdale, a small coal mining town in Southwestern, Pa. It was a cruel irony that drove him to New York City to make a life for the girl he left behind and never saw again. His obsession with having more and more to offer his childhood sweetheart, took from her the only thing she ever wanted.

In his quest for any redemption in life, Andy adopts a young man, Michael Ryan, as his protégé. While under his tutelage, he sees his young ward heading down the same road of loneliness that he had lived with for more than 50 years. It's a lesson Ryan doesn't quite get until the death of his mentor. Following the dying wishes of his friend, he makes his way to Beaverdale. While resting at a mountain spring just outside the small town, a voice in the wind leads Ryan to Susan's rooftop.

'LONG ROAD', an intimate examination of love, loneliness, and friendship, not only looks at today's 'Rat Race', but will take its audience back to a simpler time. A time when things were as they ought to be. It's a story that tells us fate can be a beautiful thing. The powers that be, whatever they are, arrange a course of events and achieve the desired conclusion; a happy ending.
