The Road Trip Rewind

by Kate Tamberelli Danny Tamberelli

Back to the Future meets 10 Things I Hate About You as the past, the present, and two hearts with unfinished business collide in the most epic, hilarious, and downright poignant way . . . Up-and-coming screenwriter Beatrix Noel&’s dream project is finally a reality—her 90s-era script is in production. Less dreamy is the A-list actor in the starring role—none other than Rocco Riziero, who jilted Beatrix on New Year&’s Eve back in 1999. Without his celebrity status, the project would likely still be withering on her hard drive, but that doesn&’t mean Beatrix won&’t shame him at every opportunityon-set—especially when it becomes painfully obvious he doesn&’t even remember her . . . Boxed-in as a Hollywood pretty-boy, Rocco is thrilled to tackle a genuinely dramatic role. But he&’s perplexed about why the screenwriter treats him like a maggot. And awkward becomes irksome when their bickering results in a car crash right outside the famed Roxy Theatre on Sunset Boulevard—site of the New Year&’s Eve party where everything went wrong . . . Shockingly, Beatrix, Rocco, and the car, are uninjured. The twist? They&’re clearly, truly, somehow, still in December, still on Sunset—but in 1999. Their mission? They&’ll have to work together to correct their old mistakes—which just might bring them closer than either expects . . . But can they change the past without altering their future selves—and hold on to what they&’ve found together? Only time-travel will tell . . .
