Rewind. Repair. Rebuild.

Video rental is booming, the shelves are thin, and a competing chain is happy to take every customer you disappoint. You have thirty days to turn a worn-down Family Home Video franchise into a place Flatwoods wants to visit again.

The real work is listening. Customers may ask for comedy, horror, romance, or action, but the right recommendation depends on the first date tomorrow, the quiet house tonight, or the family movie night somebody is trying to protect.
