script
DESCRIPTION:
high-concept drama in which it's Avery Scott's birthday today and if you were to believe her Instagram, everything about her life is perfect; but when her first (of four) ex-husbands throws her a surprise party that her own mother doesn't even attend, it sends Avery into an existential crisis prompting an emergency therapy session; feeling semi-responsible for Avery's empty and meaningless life, the therapist sends Avery home with a calming tea to help her sleep; when she wakes up the next morning, it's 2001 and Avery is being given a second chance to reinvent herself and make her life more substantial than a hashtag
