Following years of absence, Tyler returns to his hometown for his high school reunion, reluctantly revisiting the past he tried to leave behind. As he reconnects with his former best friend Mike — now engaged and running a small-town bakery — the two unravel unspoken tensions and the scars left by a shared trauma. Over the course of one night, Tyler and Mike find solace in their shared past and a way to move forward — together.
Throughout my life, many people have come and gone, but the thing that bothers me are the friendships where both people want to stay in touch and yet, for no clear reason, we don’t.
I wanted to tell a story about two best friends facing a seemingly insurmountable obstacle that drives them apart. But instead of succumbing to that distance, they find a way back to each other and a way to stay connected.
Because I miss some of my friends, and if these characters can figure it out, maybe we can too.
