Trailer:

Synopsis: A multi-award-winning radio show featuring a host who tells homespun tales of the fictional Midwestern town which is interspersed with musical interludes is being shut down after 30 years. As the ensemble of performers, musicians and back-stage crew prepare for the final live broadcast, long-simmering passions boil to the surface while an imperious stage manager struggles to hold everyone together. A menacing stranger, who might just be the angel of death, stalks in the wings, but the show must go on.

Comment: Inspired by Garrison Keillor's legendary U.S. radio variety show 'A Prairie Home Companion'.
