High school senior Addison Smith lives with his single mom, Libby, and paternal grandfather Collier in a small Santa Barbara bungalow. Still practicing to get his driver's license, Addison has never been one to rush into things – including relationships with girls. Collier, in fact – a bit worried about his grandson's development – pressures him into a friendly bet: which of them will be the first to seduce a lady. Collier picks Addison's potential conquests at the high school, as Addison picks Collier's at the local retirement facility. As the bet plays itself out in this coming-of-age lighthearted drama, Addison's mom, Libby, is herself just starting to date again after the death of her husband several years before. What ensues is three generations of a family, all looking for love – sometimes in the right places, sometimes in the wrong ones, sometimes comically, sometimes poignantly. Along the way, they learn, and teach each other, lessons about love, life, maturity, and what it means to grow into adulthood. (QOA Entertainment)
