The story, based on the George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart play of the same name, explores how people’s futures and entire lives can be changed in an instant due to the decisions they make. Through small vignettes, time rewinds from 1976 to 1957, to where it all began in the lives of three friends- composer Franklin Shepard, his collaborator- lyricist Charley Kringas, and novelist Mary Flynn.
