Five best friends in their late 20s/early 30s decide to take a trip to a remote cabin in the woods to reconnect and unwind. However, after an encounter with a strange meteorite, the group begins to experience bizarre physical changes that lead them to age backwards at a steady rate. At first, they brush it off as a temporary side effect, but as their bodies continue to regress and their memories fade, they realize they are stuck in a frightening and irreversible cycle of aging. As they struggle to come to terms with their new reality, the friends face a range of challenges, including adapting to their infantile bodies, relearning basic skills, and dealing with the emotional fallout of regressing back into adolescence. As the group tries to find a way to reverse the process, they also come to appreciate the value of living in the moment and cherishing the time they have with each other. In the end, the group must confront the consequences of their actions and make a difficult decision about whether to embrace their newfound youth or fight to regain their adult lives.
