When Georgie chooses work over a family Christmas trip, her husband Neal packs up their kids and leaves—and she's terrified she's finally broken everything beyond repair. But then something impossible happens: she discovers a mysterious landline that connects her to Neal in the past, giving her a chance to rewrite the moments that led them here. As Georgie wrestles with whether she should fix her marriage before it starts, she's forced to confront the deeper question of whether their love story is worth saving—or whether they'd both be happier if it never happened at all. This is a tender, bittersweet exploration of commitment, regret, and the messy reality of long-term love that'll make you ache and hope in equal measure.
