Since his wife passed, Roy Boswell has told himself the same story: this is simply what's left, and the best thing he can do is set his children free to live lives of their own, even if it means living his alone. But when budget cuts cancel his community's holiday dance, and no one steps up to save it, Roy recognizes an old habit trying to win again. He refuses the quiet temptation to just let good things come to an end. Meanwhile, his daughter Lacey carries a secret heartbreak of her own and arrives for a visit, needing support, but looking for something she can't quite name. Father and daughter come together, each convinced their best years are already behind them, but learn the same lesson from opposite directions: the good times aren't over until you stop showing up for them.
