It is “last call” at the bar when a last-minute customer enters and offers bartender Jamie and his girlfriend Abby two thousand dollars to have a drink with him. Of course, they take it! As the trio swaps stories, Jamie considers decisions about his musical career and future with Abby. The young couple realize that this stranger is unusually invested in their choices. The reason he gives them is completely unbelievable, but when an angry second stranger arrives, the unbelievable suddenly looks quite true. Enjoy this story of love, following your dreams (or not), and the costs of the choices we make.
