Rosie Hartford, a journalist grappling with a rough breakup, is assigned to interview a resident of The Meadows—a local estate slated to become the set of a 1950s‑styled reality TV show, “The 1950s House.” When she steps through the front door, she finds herself back in the 1950s, confined to a drab, black‑and‑white world where she learns she is a contestant on the show. The shock deepens when she discovers that her ex‑boyfriend Will is present as Billy, who in this era is a devoted family man married since he was sixteen.
