The time of year when you leave the ones you love to be with your family.
// The Story
When a failed game designer is coerced home for the holidays, he discovers his reclusive father has built a quantum computer in the basement and has been secretly crossing into alternate dimensions — searching for the one thing none of his real family ever gave him. A reason to keep going.
// From the script
ArthurHow much do you know about quantum mechanics?
MikeI think I might have seen a YouTube video or an episode of Rick and Morty about it.
TheodoraWell, unless you want to get dosed — don't drink this.
MikeI just wish I knew what went wrong in my family to make them so horrible. Maybe there's a way to fix them.
ArthurIt's hard to say, Mikey. Families are fragile things that are easily broken. But you aren't Eric Stoltz and this isn't Back to the Future.
MikeEric Stoltz wasn't in Back to the Future.
ArthurHuh. Maybe that's what went wrong! We just don't know.
MikeYou are not my father… are you?
ArthurIt's kind of a big question, Mikey.
