A Smart and Funny Puzzle

Before I Forget begins in the present and dials back a day into the past to fill in the details. It is story of ego, love, and creativity with Henry and Zoe taking front and center in separate (but lightly intersecting) story lines - we get more backstory for Henry and see the future developing for Zoe. The impossibility of the sci-fi developments and how the supposedly dumbest man in town (the Sheriff, of course) and geniuses solve the puzzle in their midst makes for a funny, heart-wrenching, and satisfying ride.
