Tina (Thu Tran) and her elderly dog, MeeMoo, find themselves at the esoteric clinic known as "Rainbow Bridge Enterprises," claiming to offer human-to-pet communication at the threshold of life and death. Desperate for answers, Tina meets with the eccentric (though clearly jaded) Dr. Bailey Picadello (Heather Lawless) and her burnout partner, Herb (James Urbaniak). Almost as soon as Tina and MeeMoo are scanned by the questionable new age machinery, it becomes clear that their nineteen year bond as companions might actually be the key to something greater… What if a human and pet bond was so strong, it could literally bridge the gap between between the physical world and the pet afterlife. Chaos ensues and realities converge as Tina & MeeMoo are thrusted to the edges of time and space, and can finally say goodbye in their final, fantastical forms. As Tina is abruptly thrust back to reality, MeeMoo is left behind in a transcendental realm. Dr. Bailey soon gets more than she bargained for when the fabric of reality might have just split wide open…
