Film Synopsis
Jake Watson has been on the road with his dog for nearly ten years. When his grown son dies, he returns home to a daughter-in-law and grandchildren he barely knows. To help them out with finances, he takes a job driving for a car service. Jake picks up singer Catriona Walsh at the airport and delivers her to her gig, and their unexpected friendship winds up stretching into a two week road trip. Catriona starts setting Jake’s poetry to music, and the music triggers a transformation that finally sets him on a path to healing.
