Driven by the possibility of showing up with an old flame and impressing his old army buddies, he sets out to attend his 65th WWII reunion in California with his directionless and unreasonably self-confident granddaughter, Ashley (Mackinlee Waddell). Each with their own issues and agendas, they head west in a dilapidated Winnebago.
