Synopsis Ex-trapeze star Angel DeLuna has lovingly tended The Center of The Universe, her family’s carousel, for years after a tragic fall and the disappearance of her partner. Lost in a magical world, she confides in the brass angels that adorn her carousel roof, her dream of flying once again with Monticello. Through a case of mistaken identity, she comes to believe that Mike, a visiting antique dealer, is the Archangel Michael who has arrived at the circus to grant her a miracle. Angel is about to discover the grim reality that Deuce, the circus barker, has sold off her carousel in order to make way for a penny arcade. Worse yet, he has enlisted the help of her nephew Freddy to take the carousel apart. In the desperate times of the Great Depression, Deuce plots to throw her out of the circus on her birthday, when her contract expires. Hope arrives in the form of a hobo clown, Ollie Blatsky. Ollie is secretly her long-lost trapeze love who abandoned her so many years ago. Hiding his shame behind his painted clown disguise, Ollie must hold Angel’s fragile world together as her carousel world comes crashing down.
