SYNOPSIS: It's Wednesday, September 12, 2001, and Waverly is waiting for an important phone call when a blind date, Andrew, shows up. She invites him in, and then her next-door neighbor Ron, and her famous aunt show up, making for an unexpected party. The group bonds over pizza, drinking games, and deep conversation about their life choices. A thought-provoking comedy about destiny versus free will.
