Colleen Bradley decides to take a road trip down the east coast to check out antique auctions for her business. Her one-woman mission for peace of mind is thrown slightly off course when sixteen-year-old Tamara becomes her co-pilot. The already bumpy trip takes another unexpected turn when they stop at the diner that served as Colleen's college hangout and run into her old friend, Bitty Nolan Camalier. Clearly distressed, Bitty gives them a story and Collen offers to give her a ride to Florida too.
