A heartfelt romantic comedy about a young couple, Jamie and Abby. It’s 1981 and Jamie is an aspiring jazz pianist working in a Chicago bar called – appropriately, as it turns out — “Mulligan’s.” Abby is an aspiring writer currently slinging waffles at the local pancake house. Late one night, an older Man walks into the bar and offers the couple an absurd sum of money to have a few cocktails with him after hours. They need the money; what’s the harm? The revelers drink together and talk about hopes, dreams, the past, and the future. There’s something off, though. The Man is eerily familiar with Jamie and Abby’s lives and strangely invested in their futures. The explanation he gives during a game of “truth or dare” is completely unbelievable. But when a very displeased older Woman arrives at the bar, the unbelievable looks like it just might be true.
