THE STORY
Some loves never fade. They wait.
Marty meets A Bronx Tale, The Notebook & A Christmas Carol in this tale of unconditional LOVE — interwoven with the timeless music of the legendary LOU CHRISTIE,
including Lightning Strikes, Rhapsody in the Rain, and The Gypsy Cried)
It's Thanksgiving morning...
Vin Morrone has come back to the soda fountain of his youth — the same worn counter, the same egg cream, the same memories he's never quite been able to leave behind. He comes every morning. It's the one place where time still feels like it belongs to him.
But this morning, something shifts.
Without warning, Vin finds himself pulled back fifty years — to the one night that changed everything. One date. One girl. Angela. The truest love he ever knew, and the one he walked away from. He's never forgiven himself.
Now the past is alive around him again — her laugh, her eyes, the rain on the window — and Vin must face the question he's spent a lifetime running from:
What if lightning struck again?
What if the heart, given one final chance, could finally find the courage the younger man never did? Would he reach for her this time? Or cut and run a second time?
Do you believe in miracles? Vin Morrone is about to find out if he does.
