Over two million people visit Iceland annually, eager to explore its black beaches and blue glaciers while driving the Ring Road in search of the elusive Northern Lights. Four tourists believe they have signed up for a free volunteer trip to help "repair damage caused by local elements" in Iceland. They are technically correct, but definitely not in the way they expected. Their journey brings the very problems they were running away from to the surface. The Valley is a story about redemption – taking action in the face of impossible odds – and discovering what it means to find a new normal. It is a contemporary dramatic comedy with a running time of approximately two hours.

This musical has a contemporary pop-rock score with influences ranging from Icelandic folk music and progressive rock to Disney ballads and swing jazz.
