Escape is a harsh word. After all, Avalon is a respectable assisted living facility, not a penitentiary. Eddie Barnes and his friends just need to duck out long enough to help Ray get to New Mexico and make things right with his nephew before it's too late.
When new resident Lila arrives, Eddie realizes she holds the key to their plan, and the group begins an unforgettable adventure down historic Route 66. Friendships are tested and secrets revealed, but for this group of oldsters, the journey emerges as a declaration that age is irrelevant to basic human emotions such as self-doubt, betrayal, passion and most importantly, a desire to stay relevant in an ever-evolving world.
