Retired widower George Wyse is happily minding his own business, fishing the lakes of Mountain Home, Arkansas, when his world is turned upside down. At the hands of his manipulative daughter, Lorraine, George lands in a retirement home, hours away and without transportation. Baffled, alone, and now alienated from his cherished granddaughter, Claire, George nurses his bruised ego and eventually comes up with a plan to make his way home. From a secluded fishing cabin in the Ozarks, George begins the arduous task of reconnecting with the two strong-willed females who are his family. You are bound to delight in the old man's spunky determination and wise-cracking wit as three generations jockey for position amidst turmoil and a mounting list of problems. Full of twists and turns and an array of colorful characters, this heart-warming tale speaks to the stepped-up role of parenting - and grandparenting - in today's world.
