A story of adventure, love, loss, family and friendship. 'What do you want from life?' It seems everybody wants validation. They want their life to mean something and they want to mean something to someone else. The millennium approaches and Parker's burning ambition is to see the world. He throws himself into the unknown and moves far away to begin a new adventure. He desperately wants a new career and he wants to find love, having grown tired of always putting other people first. Lou, his chaotic best friend, follows soon after with disastrous consequences that put their friendship to the test. She moves clumsily from one complication to the next until she finds herself in a mess that even Parker can't rescue her from. On the other side of the world, Parker's brother looks ahead to sharing his life with Imogen. On the surface Peter's relationship seems idyllic but it soon becomes apparent they can't live up to anyone's expectations, least of all their own. ACROSS THE SKY tells the story of four friends travelling through a decade of change, their lives taking them to unexpected places. Mistakes are made, priorities change, love turns to tragedy and some journeys end back where they started. If you've ever taken a risk in love or adventure, you'll see a part of yourself in ACROSS THE SKY.
