Zebra Crossing Soul Song

Otis is a soul man, a ferry man, a part of Lenny's life for as long as he can remember.
Year after year, on those black and white stripes, Otis keeps Lenny safe. He teaches him to laugh, to sing and to be wise.
But as Lenny grows up, the pressure of life soars - for him and for Otis. Past secrets won't stay hidden and memories must be untangled. And so, guitar on his back, Lenny sets out to seek his true path.
A musical story of a soul boy and a soul man and the crossings they share.
