A quirky comedy with serious themes about a fun road trip. Griffith breaks out of a mental facility and tracks down old flame Swayze, long married to Miller, and leading an unhappy life as a writer. She tells them they have a son who is coming up to his sixteenth birthday and is willing to meet them ... . So they set off on a journey with Swayze discovering that Griffith is not to be trusted about most things and still has serious mental problems. Heartfelt performances from former movie stars.
