Alfred and Sonia

Alfred, the pigeon, is shy, quiet, and not adventurous at all. He feels safe in the comfort of the only home he has ever known, a busy airport terminal in New York City. He would be happy if he never had to leave.

Sonia, on the other hand, is a carefree songbird from the Midwest. She feels trapped in her small town and wants nothing more than to move to The Big Apple and become a Broadway star!

They are an unlikely pair for sure. Yet, as fate would have it, these two love birds meet and change each other’s lives in unimaginable ways!
