A warm, nostalgic fantasy about second chances that uses time travel to explore regret, choice, and the bittersweet acceptance of one's own life.

At her 25th high school reunion, Peggy Sue faints and awakens in 1960—back in her senior year, before her marriage and all her regrets. Given a second chance to relive her youth, she must decide whether to change the choices that shaped her life or embrace the past that made her who she is.
