About The Girl I Was
After losing her job and relationship, Alexis Spencer blames the choices of her younger self for the life she has now. A drunken blackout sends her back to her college town in 2002, where she comes face-to-face with eighteen-year-old Lexi. The two versions of the same woman must somehow work together if Alexis is going to change her future.
