Project Detail

Never Quite The Same

Synopsis

In 1984, Simon Kelly met someone. Quite an interesting someone. Over the years, the one thing he remembered about her was this. She said she'd be dead before she was 25.

So, over 20 years later when he sees her on a train, he can't understand why she doesn't recognise him. The odd thing is, she doesn't look any older. Phil Harrison agrees that it's more than a little strange. When they find out she committed suicide in 1986, the situation becomes even more difficult to explain. Until they notice the sell by date, and realize what's happened. They set out to find out more, and as they do, a plan is formed. Will it work, and how will they know if it has, or not ?

Some people have said the 1980s never went away.

Simon Kelly just found out they were right.
