Jason was 21 when he won an Emmy Award for his work on the children’s show, Captain Cauliflower. Twenty years later, he sees this accomplishment as the highlight of his career, but it’s been downhill ever since. When a handsome stranger offers to purchase his award, Jason is uncertain. Does he keep an object that represents his success, or sell it and uses the money for a once in a lifetime trip?

His decision will have an impact on this memory of his past, his thoughts of his present, and his vision of his future.
