Leo, a free-spirited 21-year-old, has just completed a 4,000-mile cross-country bicycle trip when he turns up at the Greenwich Village apartment of his 91-year-old grandmother. He’s not just road-weary but soul-sore, having endured a tragedy on the road. During the month he crashes with the feisty, resolutely independent elder, the two of them “infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately reach each other.” Amy Herzog’s 4000 Miles, part of Pauline Productions’ Mentoring series featuring up-and-coming young talent, stars Theo Gabriel and the company’s founder, Jeannine Haas.
