The story is simple, with a dash of humor and a dash of drama
During his 90-day absence, every aspect of his life begins to fall apart, giving him a new perspective and allowing him to appreciate his life and relationships. This drama explores how some people can forget about what’s most important by pursuing a career that doesn’t reciprocate the feelings they feel in the same way they did in life. It takes you on a 90-day journey and shows you how Andy Goodrich adapts and changes in the face of different circumstances, learning a lot along the way.
