The Bridge Less Traveled

     Today, the O'Brien Family Plans to Take Their Usual Route...

Then Fate Steps In                                        

FINAL BRIDGE POSTER.jpg

​The O’Briens are a typical suburban family;  a mother, father, 2 teenagers

and a grandpa. They find themselves consumed with work, civic duties,

school studies, sports, a hard-to-escape feeling of loss and grief...their lives

are on auto-pilot with little time for each other.

​

In an attempt to bring the family together while also nurturing a business                          relationship, Mom (Sharon) and Dad (Bob) plan a trip to their fishing camp.

​

Joining them is Bob’s client, Ronald Farrin, his wife (Megan), and their                                      socially awkward son (Edward). The O’Brien teens (Ashley and Jack) are not                          enthused about spending the weekend with Edward.

​​

Based on Ronald's suggestion, they take a different route where they are                        unexpectedly delayed at a bridge.

​

Stranded, the families exit their vehicles. As the group disperses, events                                        lead to surprising revelations and discoveries of one another in ways they                                    never expected. ​

​​

When a shocking emergency occurs, Sharon, who is firmly set in her ways,                                          is deeply affected. 

​

Everyone is impacted by the realization that we have more in common with                                    one another than we truly understand.

​

And we are all OK.
