'If you go too slow, time catches up with you. Too fast, and you catch up with it. You've got to strike a balance, like riding on two wheels. But you've always got to keep moving...'

Starring Matt Day (Kiss or Kill, Doing Time For Patsy Cline, Love and Other Catastrophes), Essie Davis (Black Rock, River Street, On Our Selection) and Jacki Weaver (Cosi, The Perfectionist, Picnic at Hanging Rock), this is the story of Henry Howard, a young man who discovers a way to stay young forever. Risking old age, Henry returns to the little town of Valentine to try to convince his childhood sweetheart, Alice, to join him.
