The story is about what happens to a family when a mysterious stranger arrives in a small town bringing fear and paranoia in his wake.

Fear and paranoia grow when a child goes missing. In the end an unbearable loss brings a family and a town back together. The musical's quirky title spelling is a variation on "sick bastard." The show's logo is a vanity license plate. SCKBSTD includes 19 original songs by three-time Grammy Award winner (and 13-time nominee) Bruce Hornsby, who has sold 11 million records. Songs from SCKBSTD were featured on Hornsby's 2009 CD Levitate.
