Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A failed L.A. actor returns to his Indiana hometown for his high-school reunion, where he raises hell with his old pals while reconnecting with a former flame and wondering just where it all went wrong. A high-school graduate with Hollywood dreams, Jim Owens (Michael Rosenbaum) left his friends and family behind in hopes of making it in the movie industry. Ten years later Jim has yet to land a major role, though he has become the commercial spokesman for a prominent insurance company. Convinced his once-promising career as an actor has finally fizzled out, Jim returns home for his high-school reunion, and conspires with his old gang to get back at their former principal. But the plan goes awry, wreaking havoc at a local wedding, and incurring the wrath of his old friends' wives. Meanwhile, Jim starts to wonder exactly when it was that his life flew off the rails.
