Synopsis
When Park River High School's drama director passes away, six former theater students gather in their home town for his funeral. With the pressures of marriage, kids, and careers set aside for the weekend, the once tight-knit group finds themselves falling into old patterns.
Self-destructive Tori seeks comfort from her old flame, steadfast Nathan. Former best friends, perfectionist Kate and stressed-out mom Sienna, try to repair their friendship while the mischievous Brandon, ex-boyfriend to them both, toys with their hearts. April, goth kid turned teacher, does her best to hold the group together while her own relationship suffers.
Alcohol flows too freely and clothing becomes optional as the six friends learn how much of their teenage selves they have carried to adulthood. Tensions run high, romances rekindle, and silly little wounds reopen.
