In the wake of his father’s death, Daniel has put the family farm up for sale, hoping to start fresh somewhere else. It looks like an easy sell, until a series of thunderstorms passing through town leave his land bone dry.
From BMI lyricist and writer Dustin Sullivan, Parched is an exploration of loss, the variable effects of grief and weather, a search for purpose and the perfect pie. A recent O'Neill semifinalist, Parched examines just how much the earth can change when we try to leave our pain behind.
