Set in Ventura, California, where sunshine, surfing and beer-pitchers are a daily pleasure.   But life isn't quite so laid-back and carefree for all residents.

Kenzie and Ali are at home drinking and smoking their way through another Friday night.  Suddenly, Kenzie inexplicably finds himself out on the beach.  Utterly confused, he returns home to Ali and plays down the incident, blaming their huge consumption of beer and marijuana.

Things begin to get even stranger for Kenzie, but with the help of his new friend Sonja, he discovers that he is swapping places with a version of himself in a parallel universe.  Desperate to keep it from Ali and get his life back to normal, Kenzie tries to work out why the slips are happening and most importantly, how to make them stop.

As he searches for a solution he is forced to make some tough decisions.  Not only do these cause problems with Ali, but are made all the more difficult by the dubious actions of his other-self in both worlds. 

Can he get his life back to normal before his relationship with Ali crumbles beyond repair, or is it already too late?All Rights Reserved
