After devastating wildfires force Frank and his young boyfriend, Logan, from their rental home in the California hills, Frank's mother, Iris, a former B-list actress, offers them temporary shelter as more family trouble beckons from across the country.

Iris Flynn is an acerbic, self-sufficient seventy-three-year-old widow with a minor Hollywood career in her past and some streamlined kitchen cabinets inspired by Marie Kondo. Her composed and simplified existence is disrupted when her son Frank lands on her doorstep after his rental home is destroyed in a wildfire, the latest in a string of personal setbacks for Frank. He arrives with Logan, his young and handsome boyfriend, a featured extra on a teen soap opera with a loyal Instagram following.

Soon, news from her estranged family in Maine forces everyone out of their comfort zone. Iris convinces Frank and Logan to travel with her to the potato farm from where she made a quick getaway fifty years earlier, unleashing a funny and poignant family saga about secrets, forgiveness, and the fluctuating map of the human heart.

An extraordinary story about family resilience, missed connections, and second chances that assures us it's sometimes okay to create our own Hollywood endings.
