BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

In 1989, 20-year-old Tommy Clifford's death was initially believed to be a suicide, leaving his coworker, Rick Ciccone, burdened with guilt. Two years earlier, Tommy, a summer employee at a land surveying company, had lost his two best friends in a tragic car accident during a trip he couldn't attend. Overwhelmed by grief, Tommy confided in Rick, then a young wrestler with dreams of his own. Though Rick offered support, he spent years tormented by the belief that he hadn't done enough to save Tommy from his despair.

Years later, Rick learns the shocking truth: Tommy's death was not a suicide but a tragic accident. While fixing his stalled pickup truck on the New Jersey Turnpike, Tommy was struck and killed by a passing truck. This revelation forces Rick to confront his decades of guilt and misplaced blame. In a poignant dream, Tommy appears to Rick, offering forgiveness and reassurance that his small acts of kindness had meant more than he ever realized. This heartfelt encounter brings Rick the closure he desperately needed, reminding him that even the simplest gestures can leave a lasting impact.
