“Boomerang” as a verb means “to return to the originator, often with negative consequences." When things start to shut down due the pandemic, SARAH, 29, packs up her entire life and begrudgingly moves back home to spend the lockdown with her dysfunctional, neurotic, yet loving parents, JEAN & MARTY. Back in the familiar comfort of her childhood bedroom, she regresses to her adolescent self– wearing her 8th grade wardrobe, going through her diaries, and turning on her old flip phone. She relies on Facetimes with her exuberant bestie, KAITLYN, to keep her sane. She impulsively decides to call her middle school crush MATT and as fate would have it, he answers and there's a spark. When Matt appears at Sarah’s window unexpectedly, she’s forced to decide between satiating her decades old sexual dream or honoring her promise to her parents not to break the pod. Reclaiming her independence and throwing caution to the wind, she decides to make sweet love to Matt. Revelations of family secrets and COVID scares bring everything to a boil. Emotionally depleted, Sarah celebrates her 30th birthday knowing nothing will ever be the same. And maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

Based on true events, "Boomerang" is a heartfelt, funny, timely, and relatable tale about an entire generation of millennials who were forced to move home and suffered arrested development. A story about a family sticking together while falling a part.
