SYNOPSIS: CHLOE DAVENPORT is a 33-year-old chaotic, impulsive journalist living in Los Angeles. Newly engaged and in the midst of a full-blown career crisis, Chloe's life is further turned upside down when she receives an unexpected voicemail from her AUNT CAROL, asking her to mail some of her late father's ashes to their redneck family reunion. The only problem? Chloe lost the ashes—and she doesn't have a clue where they might be. Not wanting her estranged family to discover the truth, Chloe embarks on a quest to track down her father’s lost urn, which forces her to return to her insufferable hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after arriving, she runs into her first love, JAY MORGAN, a deadbeat, chronically depressed bartender secretly grappling with mental health issues following a painful breakup and him inadvertently killing his dogs. Once the former couple cuts through the initial awkward tension, the pair sets out on an adventure to locate the remains of Chloe's father which unearths a multitude of painful memories from their past. And just like that, with Jay by her side, Chloe quickly gets sucked back into the past she fought so hard to escape, and she’s forced to confront the devastating reality of the life she left behind. During their impromptu road trip, the exes reminisce, reconnect, and hook up one last time—until the secrets they’ve been hiding threaten to tear them apart for good. As their adventure concludes, Chloe is forced to make a difficult choice between the familiarity of her adolescence and the promise of her future with her new fiancée.
