World Premiere | by Michael Cochran
On his 50th birthday, an argument about past regrets between Chris ends up in a freak lightning strike that hurls them 30 years into the past—to a wild night in the woods with all their old flames. But when they encounter their younger selves, they discover that their memories don’t match the messy, and hilarious real events that unfold—forcing them to confront who they were, who they became, and whether their love can survive the truth.
