Peter Latang (Jesse Wakeman) is forced to return to his hometown to settle the affairs of his late grandmother. He plans to be in and out in 24 hours. Of course, things don't go as planned when he realizes that he lost his wallet on the trip in and has no identification or money. Against his better judgment and with no other options, he turns to his former high school best friend Donald (Kris Avedisian), who still lives next door with his Mother. Donald is overjoyed to see his old friend. He can't wait to spend the day with him. Peter just wants to borrow a few dollars and be on his way. What starts out as a simple favor turns into something a little darker as they travel down memory lane.

This is a pretty good little indie flick. Poor Donald is still suffering from arrested development. He lives at home, has a dead-end job and wears his bathrobe everywhere. He is so excited when he thinks Peter wants to spend some time with him. They re-visit people and places from their past, some funny and some hurtful, as Donald comes to realize that Peter really just wants to forget he ever lived in that small town. This movie is both really funny and despairing. You feel sorry for Donald. He is stuck in the past. And, Peter just can't wait to get back out. Both amusing and sad. Worth a look.
