Three women, two weeks, one convertible: sometimes life doesn\'t take you in the direction you expect...
Colleen Bradley is married with a teenage son, a modest business repurposing and reselling antiques, and longtime fear that she was not her husbandΓ’β¬β’s first choice. When she decides to take a road trip down the east coast to check out antique auctions for her business, she also has a secret ulterior motive. Her one-woman mission for peace of mind is thrown slightly off course when sixteen year old Tamara becomes her co-pilot. The daughter of ColleenΓ’β¬β’s brother-in-law, Tamara is aware that when people see her as a screw-up, but she knows in her heart that sheΓ’β¬β’s so much more. She just wishes her father could see it, too.
The already bumpy trip takes another unexpected turn when they stop at the diner that served as ColleenΓ’β¬β’s college hangout and run into her old friend, Bitty Nolan Camalier. Clearly distressed, Bitty gives them a story full of holes: angry with her husband, she took off on her own, only to have her car stolen. Both Colleen and Tamara sense that thereΓ’β¬β’s more that Bitty isnΓ’β¬β’t sharing, but Colleen offers to give Bitty a ride to Florida.
So one becomes two becomes three as Colleen, Tamara, and Bitty make their way together down the coast. ItΓ’β¬β’s a road trip fraught with tension as TamaraΓ’β¬β’s poor choices come back to haunt her and BittyΓ’β¬β’s secrets reach a boiling point. With no one to turn to but each other, these three women might just discover that you can get lost in life but somehow, true friends provide a roadmap to finding what youΓ’β¬β’re really looking for.
