Memory competes with fear in Mitch McCabe's haunting film exploring a mother's struggle to piece together disparate recollections of the lost moment before a tragic car accident. Shifting vantage points among a mother, father, and son, the film questions the viewer's sense of order and reality. Fragments of the accident partially repeat and overlap, at times truncated and at others extended, each time offering the driver a different ending to the story. It brings new meaning and complexity to the simple, wishful thought, "What if ...?" and leaves the viewer to wonder whether the mother will continue to replay new versions of the nightmarish events to infinity like an endless highway before her.
