Summary
Stan Pines is a man who has lived a lifetime full of regrets, but his greatest shame is that he was never there for his brother when he needed him most. And now after thirty years of clinging onto the frayed edges of hope, there doesn't seem to be anything left to hold onto.
Ford Pines is a man whose curiosity, and ego cost him (and possibly reality itself) everything. He is a man possessed, (or at least he was) and has spent the past thirty years of his life searching for a way to atone for his sins; willing to sacrifice anything to do so.
When these brothers: two halves of the same bad penny finally find their way back to one another will they be able turn their luck, and forty years of bad-blood and even worse misunderstandings around? If the universe is to survive, they're going to have to.
(Or if Gravity Falls had been written for an older audience, aka a more mature retelling from the Grunkles povs.)
