Set in the 1950s, the glamorous Anne Devereaux (Zellweger) leaves her philandering band leader husband Dan (Bacon) and takes her two teenage sons on a drive down the Eastern seaboard from city to city in a quixotic search for a wealthy man to support them. Told from the perspective of the younger son, George (Lerman), this timeless comedy unfolds as they make their way across the country, eventually landing in Hollywood where a new life seems possible.
