Description

It’s 1973 in the upscale suburb of Edina, Minnesota, and Charles, a high school sophomore, is behaving very strangely. Suddenly he believes he has been transported through lucid dreams to his 84th year where he looks back at a misspent life. As Charles attempts to change his life’s trajectory something unexpected happens — the adults around him keep dying. Is he driven mad by fanatical parents? A crush on his civics teacher? Guilt over his previous drug dealing? Watergate? Or is he not crazy at all? A hilarious and haunting dark comedy about time, guilt, love, and redeeming a life not yet lived.
