Plot

After fifteen years, three old friends are forced to revisit the one night that changed their lives forever.

In order to evade a lengthy prison sentence, Russ Mahler, a career criminal, blackmails his former friend and Manhattan District Attorney Graham Seifert. With his hands tied, Graham has Russ acquitted, and on insistence of his friend and Chief of Staff Evan Midland, the three men meet for a weekend at Graham's Hampton beach house to finally bury their memory of the night from fifteen years ago. All past grievances surface in an explosive night that alters the trajectories of all their lives.[3]

Reception

Film Threat called Maybe Tomorrow "...an incredibly powerful film." "...emotional and memorable."[15] Misty Layne of Rogue Cinema hailed it as "...one film you don't want to miss." "...an intense character piece that piles on the drama."[16] Charles Tatum of EFilmCritic.com wrote that "Maybe Tomorrow is one of those films that comes out of nowhere, packing an emotional punch and technical finesse that is sadly lacking in other smaller budgeted independent films."[17]
