Ordinary Joe
On the night of his college graduation, Joe Kimbreau (James Wolk) finds himself faced with one of those momentous decisions that could change the course of his life. This life-affirming drama unfolds as three parallel narratives that diverge on that night, as Joe — or rather, three different versions of him — experiences the rest of his life resulting from that decision, with certain elements remaining identical but others taking a different course. Natalie Martinez, Charlie Barnett, Elizabeth Lail, David Warshofsky and Teddy Sears co-star.
