When three very different U.S. soldiers find themselves on an unplanned
road trip across America, they form a deep bond that may be the closest
thing any of them has to real family. T.K. Poole, Colee Dunn and Fred
Cheever arrive in New York from Germany only to find their connecting
flights canceled due to a power outage. Anxious to get to their
respective destinations, they agree to share a rented minivan to
suburban St. Louis where Cheever is to reunite with his wife and teenage
son. From
there, the other
two plan to fly to Las Vegas where the macho T.K. wants to make an
important stop before seeing his fiancée and the tough yet naïve Colee
plans to pay a visit to a fallen fellow-soldier's family. But, when
Cheever's homecoming turns out to be a far cry from what he anticipated,
the trio's one-day drive expands into an impromptu cross-country
marathon. Along the way, they experience a string of surprising
adventures ranging from the hilarious to the heartbreaking. As their
interstate journey takes them from a barroom brawl to a high society
dance to a bizarre Sunday morning church service, T.K., Colee and
Cheever discover that home is not quite what they remembered and the
unlikely companionship they've found in one another might be what
matters most of all.
