Logline
From the Union Leader review - “Chasing Mayflies,” is a rallying call that mixes regret with redemption, sentiment with sarcasm. Jack Nagle is a Vietnam veteran whose rash actions and need for an adrenaline rush has ruined relationships with family and friends. Facing imminent death, the hard-hitting gambler decides to right some wrongs, but conventional death-bed apologies aren’t enough. He enlists the help of childhood friend Dennis, a widower with a serious Juicy Fruit gum habit and an overwhelming compulsion to stick to life inside the lines. To mend fences, the duo knocks down some emotional and physical barriers...In movie terms, it’s a bit like “Dead Poets Society” meets “Bucket List.”
