A married couple, deep in the trenches of a midlife crisis, find their world thrown into hilarious turmoil when under-appreciated and stressed-out “supermom” suffers a post-traumatic breakdown, causing her to regress to her wild, college-age party-girl self. While she teams up with the neighbor’s 19-year-old daughter to paint the town red, her bewildered husband must navigate the chaos at home.
“The Throwback” follows the hilarious journey of Kate and Matt Morgan, a middle-aged couple caught in the routine of raising their kids while dealing with personal and professional struggles. Their lives take a wild turn when Kate experiences a post-traumatic breakdown, regressing to her college aged self after a bank robbery, erasing 26 years of memories. While Matt steps up to manage home and school duties, Kate grapples with her newfound youth alongside her neighbor’s daughter, Shea.
As Kate rediscovers herself, Matt undergoes his own transformation, realizing his mistakes and striving to be a better husband and father. Kate’s adventures lead her to question her choices, including a crush on Matt’s office rival and moments of longing for her old life. When a rush of memories brings clarity, she returns home, and together, Matt and Kate embark on a journey of appreciation, self discovery, and renewed commitment to each other. “The Throwback” is a tale of second chances that proves it’s never too late for change.
