PORTLAND, OREGON. 1998.
ALLIE CARMICHAEL LIVES HER LIFE LIKE A MIXTAPE OF LATE NIGHTS AND BAD DECISIONS ALONGSIDE THE CHOSEN FAMILY SHE'S FOUND AT O'MALLEY'S BAR AND GRILL. WHEN A CHARISMATIC NEW BARTENDER NAMED JUDAH IS HIRED, HIS ATTENTION BECOMES A GAME THEY'RE PLAYING TO WIN. THEN, AT THE SUMMER'S END, JUDAH VANISHES FROM A PARTY ONE NIGHT, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.
TEN YEARS LATER, THE FORMER FRIENDS REUNITE AT A REMOTE LAKESIDE RESORT, WHERE A CAMERA WAITS IN A PRIVATE ROOM CALLED "THE CONFESSIONAL." ONE BY ONE, THEY DRAW THEIR QUESTIONS.
DRINKS FLOW. OLD MASKS SNAP BACK INTO PLACE. THEN SOMEONE PRESSES PLAY ON A VHS TAPE FROM THE NIGHT JUDAH DISAPPEARED.
BY MORNING, ONE OF THEM IS DEAD.
ONE WEEKEND. SIX CONFESSIONS.
THE ONE WHO RAN.
THE ONE WHO SPIRALED.
THE ONE WHO LIT THE MATCH.
THE ONE WHO CARRIED THE TORCH.
THE ONE WHO KNEW TOO MUCH.
OR THE ONE WHO WANTED EVERYTHING TO STAY THE SAME...
FOREVER.
Portland, Oregon. 1998.
