The Guys

September 9 – 11, 2019

Less than two weeks after the September 11th attacks, New Yorkers are still in shock. One of those lost souls, an editor named Joan, receives an unexpected phone call on behalf of Nick, a fire captain who has lost most of his men in the attack and is looking for a writer to help him prepare the eulogies he must give at their memorial services.
