In 1980, Junior McPherson's life spirals out of control when his mother dies and his relationship with his father collapses. In a move toward escape and reinvention, Junior relocates to Arizona and has a chance meeting with a person who will change the trajectory of his life. Through this connection, each of the men will discover that sometimes the only way to move forward is to go backward: Counterclockwise.
