Being Erica

Back in high school, Erica thought she’d grow up, meet ‘the’ guy, get ‘the’ career, have a couple of beautiful, talented children and ride off into the sunset. But somehow, it never happened. Now she has the chance of a lifetime.

After a series of mishaps, she finds herself in the hospital where she meets the mysterious Dr. Tom – a therapist who seems to know a lot about her. Dr. Tom issues Erica a challenge: if she wants to fix her life, he can help, but once she’s committed, she can’t back out. Desperate, Erica accepts his terms, and finds herself flung back into her own past. A young person in full possession of her adult mind, this is Erica’s opportunity of a lifetime. By making different choices, can she alter her past and transform her present? Funny, tragic and uplifting in equal parts, this is a drama about the ways we hold ourselves back from following our dreams.
