Martha has spent thirty years running a bakery to support her husband Richard's cello ambitions while raising their son Jason and grandson Jackson. When she asks about the European vacation Richard promised decades ago, both he and Jason dismiss her as childish. That night she discovers five first-class tickets to Paris for Richard, Jason's family, and her sister Valerie — excluding her. Martha packs their luggage, lists the house for sale, cuts off contact, and books a one-way flight to Costa Rica. Upon their return, the family finds strangers living in their former home and Martha serving divorce papers, refusing to resume her role as unpaid caregiver.
