A widow must swallow her dignity and beg for a ride to their sixty-year class reunion from the obnoxious class bachelor; and in return, she must help the bachelor win the heart of his lost love, but all comes unraveled when a long-kept class secret is revealed and elderly chaos erupts.

SYNOPSIS:

As HELEN, 78, receives an anonymous invitation to her sixtieth-year class reunion, she must humble herself and beg her pestering neighbor, and late husband’s best friend, JACK, 78, for a ride. Jack agrees to take Helen with the condition she help him win the heart of his longtime love interest.

As the nine-hour trip begins from Texas to Tennessee, neither Helen nor Jack knows who will be the first to lose their sanity. As their differences come to surface, a flat tire keeps their sanity intact. Upon arrival to Oak Valley, Tennessee, Helen realizes she had not read the fine print and would now be staying begrudgingly at The Elk River Resort, not the usual luxurious Bed and Breakfast, and made it her mission to discover who sent the anonymous invitation that made these undesirable, rugged, bug-infested arrangements.

As the remaining seven classmates arrive, chaos ensues as Helen attempts to help Jack win the heart of her close friend CLAIRE, 78. As Helen releases the loss of her husband Clive whom she had met as a blind date her freshman year in high school, she reminisces with the secret admirer love note she had received in her locker that day many years ago. As Helen realizes Claire has no intentions of accepting Jack’s proposal, Helen creates “opportunities” for them to be together until she gets into a heated argument with Claire, and they become at odds and will not speak to one another.

As the last evening arrives, the women celebrate their sixty-year class reunion with the re-creation of their high school prom, and Jack proposes to Claire. As a total shock to Helen, and everyone else, Claire reveals the longtime secret that she could not accept Jack’s proposal, not this time nor any of the other years he had proposed to her, because Jack’s heart was already taken when he wrote that love note at the age of fourteen and allowed his best friend, the class geek, to step into his place as the blind date.

In humiliation, Jack leaves. With a nudge from Claire, Helen follows after Jack and they discover, although they are in their latter years of life, there is still time to live. As she retrieves the love note and class reunion invitation from her pocket, she realizes the handwriting is the same and that Jack, had stepped aside once again, to bring her to the reunion to make sure she could say the good-bye to Clive that she had desired. As the two return to the prom, arm in arm, Helen makes amends with Claire and Jack receives the dance with Helen he never got sixty years earlier.
