Synopsis:
This joyful and exuberant, yet ultimately touching, comedy focuses on three women at
crossroads in their lives—the Wild sisters of Winedale, Virginia—Fanny and Willa and their frustratingly quirky sister-in-law Johnnie Faye. This feisty and fun-loving trio has supported
and cheered one another through life’s highs and lows through the years, including the
early demise of two of their husbands. And they really need each other now, as Fanny
experiences a hilariously inappropriate reaction to her 60th birthday, while Willa is so
stressed out from her nursing job she resorts to vodka and speed-knitting to cope, and
Johnnie Faye, determined to put her year of fraught widowhood behind her, desperately
tries to find a man—preferably a man with a house, since hers is somewhere at the bottom
of a Florida sinkhole. These women’s lives are further upended by the responsibility of
caring for their free-spirited, ailing aunt and the realization that they are drowning under
loads of family keepsakes and possessions nobody wants—especially them! With equal
doses of hilarity and heart, these extraordinary women come up with delightful and
surprisingly unorthodox ways to clear the clutter from their lives, their homes and their
relationships so they can move their lives forward. Together they prove it’s never too late to
take another one of life’s paths for a grand new adventure.
