Val is the meticulous, devious mother hen. Nevertheless, as the five widows have aged, they have become the closest of friends. They have supported each other through illness, trauma, and death. However, Val knows that nothing lasts forever. She learned that the hard way when the love of her life died and left her with nothing but memories. Soon, the same will happen with the others. Lily has been diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease and is mentally deteriorating. Mo's body can't withstand her breast cancer treatments. The group will be broken up. Val is determined to have one last, unforgettable adventure before that happens. She has rented a Winnebago, and she can't wait to see where their journey takes them.

Someone is hiding a secret from the others, and it has the potential to lead to a terrible tragedy.
