'The Sky Below' follows Gabriel Collins, a 37-year-old obituary writer in post-9/11 Manhattan, whose life feels as monotonous and dilapidated as the newspaper he works for. A former imaginative youth whose rebellious streak has morphed into a tendency for petty crime, Gabriel lives in the shadow of his older, wealthier boyfriend's indulgence. Following a life-threatening episode, Gabriel's existence reaches a tipping point. Seeking rebirth, he escapes to Mexico, only to embark on a transformative journey that uncovers his deepest secrets. Stacey D'Erasmo's evocative storytelling draws us alongside Gabriel as he confronts a world often overwhelming, and ultimately finds his place within it.
