After helping a broken family heal and finally confronting his own past, Tristan—the man who once hid from trauma inside a panda suit—hasn’t entirely left the panda behind. Now on a self-proclaimed "Panda Sabbatical," Tristan crosses paths with Matt, a struggling filmmaker whose life has quietly unraveled after a failed engagement and a growing sense that he’s wasting his potential. When Tristan recruits him for a bizarre weekend retreat in the woods, what begins as an escape from reality quickly spirals into something far more chaotic—and unexpectedly transformative. At a secluded cabin, their journey collides with two women carrying their own emotional baggage: Zoey, a widow unable to move on from the love she lost, and Cece, her reckless, no-filter best friend determined to drag her back to life. When a booking mix-up forces all four strangers to share the same space—along with an eccentric luchador host offering a "life-changing" wrestling seminar.
