Twenty-something Adam Stevenson (Mike Stasko) takes the bus to move back with his parents, Bert (Pat McManus) and Diane (JoAnn Nordstrom), in his small hometown. He’s been living in the big city and his folks aren’t really keen on having him back.
He hooks up with an odd old classmate, Mac (Daniel Wilson), who’s never really grown up. While watching television, Adam watches a talk show host challenge viewers to “make a to-do list because you have to be organized to reach total happiness. See, the list is a pathway and each step, a stepping stone on that pathway to reach that ultimate goal.”
Adam begins his list of things he always wanted to do and he and Mac embark on the adventure of fulfilling them. Things like skydiving, blowing up old report cards, be in a band, learn the world capitals, be in a movie, build a soapbox derby car, and more. Along the way they encounter Donovan “The D Man” (Santo D’Asaro), Adam’s arch-nemesis from high school.
Also appearing is Amy Ballantyne as Julie Bartly, the unfulfilled love of Adam’s life.
Dorkiness personified but this quirky indie shows how facing missed opportunities can lead to having the courage to do what you really want to do.
