Everyone wonders what’s in their future but never really believes they will ever find out. But when neighbours Josh and Emma insert a free AOL CD in Emma’s computer they discover their profiles on Facebook.

So What! You say. But this is the year 1996, computers are totally new and Facebook is well and truly a thing of the future. Fifteen years into the future to be exact.

So what do the friends do – check into what is there for them when they grow older, of course. They discover who they marry, where they live and much more, not altogether liking what they find out.

 

Find out how this affects their relationships with the best looking guy in the class and of course in Josh’s case the best looking girl in town. Can you mess with the future or do Josh and Emma learn that living in the here and now is the best place to be!
