It’s late summer and a group of friends congregate at a cabin near a remote mountain town for their annual fantasy football draft, a tradition spanning 15 years. Once as close as brothers, paths have separated over the years, always bringing them back to the cabin. Tensions mount between the friends as they attempt to strike a balance between embracing the past and progressing towards the future. As secrets seep out and as they deal with not only each other, but a host who is battling PTSD and simply holding on, the friends set out to see if they can recapture a piece of their glory days. Will they rebuild a friendship? Or will they find out that by constantly hanging onto the “good old days” simply means they just don’t have anything in common anymore?
