FULL SYNOPSIS:
In Hawaii for work, Alice Monrow, a pharmaceutical rep, faces a strained marriage and buried regrets of a past fling with Taylor Hargrove. Their brief affair, a decade ago, left an imprint she can't shake. Faced with a few conference-free days, Alice seeks closure at Taylor's former workplace, only to run into him unexpectedly. Taylor's invitation to finally show her Hawaii reignites old sparks, and despite initial hesitation, Alice embarks on a journey to rediscover lost love. As they traverse Maui's breathtaking landscapes, unresolved emotions surface, forcing Alice to confront her life choices. Balancing her family and the allure of what-could-have-been, she grapples with unspoken desires and the paths left unexplored. Their time together becomes a poignant exploration of missed opportunities and the weight of decisions, set against the captivating backdrop of Hawaii. Amidst the rekindled connection, Alice navigates the complex interplay of longing, responsibility, and the alluring prospect of rewriting her life's narrative, questioning whether some loves truly fade or simply lie dormant, waiting for the right moment to reignite.

ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL FILM TEAM:

BRYDEN LANDO- Director and writer - Shooting the film was a homecoming for Lando as he grew up in Maui where he began painting and illustrating as a young child.

Since 2005, he has owned, operated, and designed multiple premium clothing brands, as well as run his own private label manufacturing business. Having studied film at college in Santa Barbara, Lando continually shot most of the photo and video content for his brands and various creative projects throughout the years. This film is his first narrative feature length film and is a love letter to the beautiful state that shaped him.

STEPHANIE LYNN (LANDO) (portrays Alice Monrow/Co-Writer) - An actress, screenwriter, singer, and producer, Lando who grew up in Montpelier, Vermont and got her BA at the University of Pennsylvania.
