A woman looking to fulfill her late husband's final wish sets out on a transformative cross-country road trip in director
Christopher N. Rowley's warmhearted tale of friendship, self-discovery, and the memories that make life worth living even after the ones we love have gone.
Arvilla (
Jessica Lange)'s husband
Joe has recently died during a trip to Borneo, and his ashes have just arrived at her home in Pocatello, ID. Though
Joe had previously specified in his will that he would like his ashes scattered by his beloved wife, the well-intending
Arvilla soon becomes locked in a heated battle of wills with
Francine (
Christine Baranski) --
Joe's well-to-do daughter from a previous marriage.
Francine is determined to see her father laid to rest next to her mother in Santa Barbara, and she's threatened to sell the house that her father and
Arvilla have lived in since marrying to ensure that she gets her way. Now
Arvilla has lost
Joe's will, leaving no way to confirm either what he wanted done with his remains or what
Arvilla is to receive upon her husband's death. Defeated,
Arvilla sets her sights on Santa Barbara to surrender the ashes to
Francine and attempt to come to terms with the loss of her husband. When
Arvilla's sassy best-friend Margene (
Kathy Bates) and uptight pal
Carol (
Joan Allen) agree to join their recently-widowed friend on her journey and offer some much-needed moral support, the trio soon sets out in
Arvilla's vintage '66 Pontiac Bonneville for a journey of a lifetime.
