In 2021, JD Bauer receives an invitation to his fifty-fifth high school reunion. When he tells his wife Carolyn that he wants to spend time revisiting his old hometown to remember it as it was, she's intrigued. She wants to hear stories, old and new, about a time in his life before she knew him, so together they embark on an unexpected journey.

While JD is fulfilling his quest to enjoy fond memories, a hidden agenda is born-to confront and put to rest an emotional and haunting part of his past that has been kept largely sealed up and off-limits for decades. Though all his family is gone, some of the townspeople still carry memories of the loss of JD's father to an act of senseless violence and are supportive of his desire to put the hurt behind him.
