SYNOPSIS:

When Janet Reed left the Chicago suburbs for college in New York, she had big dreams. But 12 years later, she is single, unemployed, broke, and her dreams of becoming a best-selling author have morphed into a decade of writer’s block and convincing herself that editing is what she really wanted to do anyway. She goes home for Christmas for the first time since she left and does what we all do: pays a visit to her ex-boyfriend’s house. She’s shocked to find Sam exit his parents’ house, and even more shocked when she figures out that the Sam she’s speaking to is actually a 19-year-old Sam. When she goes to his house, she enters some sort of magical, time travel wormhole. She spends the next two weeks rediscovering who she used to be, her passion for writing, and her love for Sam. When her old life in New York pays a visit in the form of a job opportunity and the arrival of her most recent ex, Luke, Janet must choose between the wormhole and reality. She realizes that the wormhole can’t last forever, she heads back to New York with Luke. But in the interview for an editing job, Janet finds that she can’t pretend anymore that she doesn’t want the things she wants. She turns down the job, breaks up with Luke, and armed with a manuscript that she wrote after many wormhole nights, she marches to her old office and presents her novel. Her old coworker and friend shows it to her boss, who decides to publish it. Her priorities realigned, Janet goes home once again to complete the edits to her novel. She drives past Sam’s house again and finds him exiting just as he did before Christmas. Only this time it isn’t a wormhole. It’s present day Sam. And he’s never stopped loving her. And they live happily ever after.
