A woman gathers with a tight circle of old friends at a Michigan lake house five days before she returns home to care for her mother, who has just suffered a mental breakdown. What begins as a vacation turns into something more complicated, as long-held feelings, unfinished history, and the gap between the lives they imagined and the ones they're living all rise to the surface.

On the highway of life, Jerry's at a dead-end. Unemployed and still living at home with his parents, this thirty-three year old loser has no drive to better his life. That's all about to change. A fateful drug deal gone bad transforms Jerry overnight into the cop's number one murder suspect and the mob's number one target. With a sack full of drugs and a budding romance at stake, Jerry could get a life... or lose it. Either way, it will be the ride of his life.
