Quick Synopsis
Russ Duritz is a successful but self-centered businessman who focuses entirely on his career. One night, under the light of the moon, he unexpectedly meets Rusty, an 8-year-old boy who is a younger version of himself. Rusty is surprised and disappointed to see how different his future self has become, especially since Russ has no meaningful personal life or even a dog, which Rusty had hoped for. Through their interactions, Rust begins to help Russ reflect on his choices and reconnect with the dreams and values he once had, leading Russ to reevaluate who he is and who he wants to be.

But by the magic of the moon, he meets Rusty, a chubby, charming 8-year-old version of himself who can't believe he could turn out so badly – with no life and no dog. With Rusty's help, Russ is able to reconcile the person he used to dream of being with the man he's actually become.
