Ezra comes from a big family—four siblings, all seeming to get more attention than him, even on his bar mitzvah weekend. Finn is an only child who’s tired of his parents’ constant focus, even worse on his bar mitzvah weekend. They just want to get past it, just want to grow up. And now they’re both stuck. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. No way out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil Finn and Ezra meet and realize they’re not alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeaming up, they try everything they can think of to break the loop.
