Bill is trying to father his hurting children even as he deals with his own feelings over the accidental death of his wife. He decides to take three road trips, letting each child choose the destination of a trip. Along the way conflict and healing ensue. The final destination is his choice: Key West, Florida: a drive across the seven-mile bridge.
