SYNOPSIS

Red Comet is a coming-of-age comedy-drama about logic, emotion, and the friendships that shape us. As a brilliant, analytical senior rebuilds a rusted 1971 Mercury Comet, his creative best friend fears being left behind. With graduation approaching and the future uncertain, their bond is tested by jealousy, miscommunication, and unspoken feeling, forcing them to confront what truly matters before time runs out.
