Peter returns to his twenty-year high-school reunion with dreams of winning back Kari, the girl he left behind after an unexpected pregnancy ended their relationship
Standing in Peter's way is Kari's bitter-as-ever resentment, her husband and the fact that Peter still hasn't grown up
As the night progresses, both Peter and Kari are led, through their interactions with a host of characters all played by a virtuosic Narrator, to face the consequences of choices made long ago and start back into life with newfound strength and bittersweet resolve
"Wright has taken a simple premise and invested it with poetry, feeling and a distinctive voice... [He] manages a seamless blend of humor and pathos, philosophy and emotion ... The script's greatest strength lies in the genuineness of its feelings" - Houston Chronicle
