This new comedy is a postcard to the idealism, character & undying dedication of the classic family road trip. Don Browning, a middle-aged writer, returns home & decides to finally take his father's ashes to his childhood address.  But when Don discovers Grandma's house is now a grocery store, he begins traveling across the state searching for a proper resting place for his father. This father-son road trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don's memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood as he reconciles his past & present at the center of the United States—Iowa
