What is the movie about?
Desi (Bure) is the owner of the Dine and Dash diner and has a stack of unpaid bills, forcing her to sell “Old Red” the beloved, mint-condition 1964 Ford F-100. This is no easy task as her late father gifted her the vintage truck.
Desi visits her beloved truck one last time and finds a recorded message from her father on an old audio cassette. Her dad’s voice sends her and Old Red out to retrace her family’s most memorable moments one last time.
However, as her journey begins, Desi meets Greyson (Eric Johnson), who offers her a generous payment in exchange for a ride in the truck to close the most important deal of his life. Meanwhile, Desi and Greyson realize that the road less traveled would reveal more about them than they could have ever dreamed.
