Do you remember your first love?

Nick and Anna are young. They meet at a cinema, both working summer jobs. They've lived different lives. Carry secret hurts. But they're drawn together by something neither understands.

Fast forward and they've long ago gone their separate ways. Inhabiting different worlds. Shaped by the hurt they bear. Yet neither can quite forget the other.

So when tragedy brings them back together, they find themselves asking . . .

What if we took a chance on another life?
