Director: Marc Rocco
Actors: Corey Feldman, Jason Robards, Corey Haim
PlotAn elderly couple, Coleman and Gena, hope to achieve a form of transcendence through meditation in their backyard. Coleman's experiment unintentionally overlaps with a series of events involving high school student Bobby Keller. Late one night, as Bobby attempts to bike away from his troubled life after an argument with his best friend Dinger, he unwittingly stumbles into the couple's meditation space. At the same time, Lainie, the girl Bobby secretly loves, is dashing through the yard trying to avoid her boyfriend, Joel. When an unforeseen accident occurs, Coleman unexpectedly finds his spirit swapped into Bobby's body.
Bobby wakes up disoriented, experiencing his life through Coleman's consciousness. As Coleman struggles to comprehend modern teenage life—complete with school confrontations and chaotic friendships—he tries to reach out to his wife and adjust to his new reality. Meanwhile, Bobby's presence lingers within his own mind, disconnected, struggling to regain control. With time running short and chaos mounting in both of their worlds, the two must navigate the complexities of their intertwined lives and uncover a way to return things back to normal. Amid this confusion, the bonds between friends, old and new, are tested, leading both Coleman and Bobby to reevaluate what's truly important in their lives as they search for a resolution.
