Full-length. A darkly comedic postmodern reimagining of Peter Pan. In Philadelphia, when a despairing college senior processes his looming adulthood through a darkly comedic reimagining of Peter and Wendy, he, along with his roommate's "perfect" fiancée, is pulled into Neverland through Peter’s seductive promises and Tinker Bell’s hidden agenda. With no one else to trust, the college kids band together as they work to resolve matters of their own identity and existential baggage as they uncover dark secrets lurking in Neverland's past.
