The former college roommates have made it through two decades of post-grad challenges and more recently, the pandemic and are ready to dive into the future, literally and figuratively.

However, more than one relationship triangle is untangling in this drama of conflicted passions and motives.

"The future is now" is their mantra. But tensions are brewing and something bad is about to happen, not in a decade or more, but in real time.

A story that encourages us to embrace the imperfections of life and reconnect with the people who matter most-while also accepting that things won't always go according to plan. And that's okay.
