Becky's New Car

By Steven Dietz

Directed by Sean Langenecker

Becky is working too many late nights at the auto dealership. Her roofer husband has yet to fix the leak in their own roof, and their adult son is still in college and living in their basement. Then one night a widowed, car-shopping millionaire bumbles into her life and changes it forever. Ride shotgun on this hilarious misadventure into the “what-if” – and brace yourself for the curves!
