How would you describe your life using song titles? For Penny, the radio has shuffled the station.
Her quirky, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, best friend group is finding that in middle-age Love Stinks and You Can’t Always Get What You Want. The chiming of her Slipping Through My Fingers ringtone has her missing her college bound daughter. And her marriage? As their 25th Anniversary looms, Don’t You Want Me would be a more apt wedding march than the Take My Breath Away of the honeymoon years.
No worries. Like many who grew up with John Hughes movies as a handbook for "happily ever after" and raised to believe that Good Girls Don’t, Penny's a pro at dealing with disappointment.
But she can’t hide in the car, eating herself numb as How to Disappear Completely plays on repeat forever. Can she?
When her husband is up for a promotion that would take them away from everyone she loves and a surprise connection forms with her new landscaper, she wonders if It’s a Question of Lust, or time to realize she's the DJ of her own dance party.
Join Penny as the clock counts down to an unforgettable anniversary party, and she embarks on a journey of reclamation, to find out what, and who, really matters.
Welcome to game night, where in Life you win some, you lose some, and sometimes Penny drowns the little pink pegs in their plastic cars with Merlot, because she talks with her hands.
