July, July

16 minTim O'Brien

What's it about

Ever wonder if you've peaked? Thirty years after graduation, a group of college friends reunites, confronting the ghosts of their past and the messy reality of their present. Are they living the lives they dreamed of, or are they just echoes of their younger selves? You'll join the Darton Class of '69 as they navigate a weekend of secrets, regrets, and rekindled passions. This isn't just a story about a reunion; it's a powerful look at how love, war, and the simple passage of time shape who we become. Discover what it truly means to look back without losing sight of the road ahead.
