Jennie, her friend Adelle and Corinne go on a road trip up the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway landing in Big Sur, California. The trio attends an Oceanside "Love Retreat" where they discuss emotional wreckage and marital difficulties.

Jennie and her daughters - Luca, Lola and Fiona - decide to build a treehouse hideaway while Corinne plans activities for Jennie to release anger. Jennie finds solace spending time with her girls sawing, hammering and painting.

Jennie throws Carolyn (Jennie's Mother) and Gary (Carolyn's new husband) a "Welcome Home from Your Honeymoon BBQ". A bluegrass band, a mechanical bull and twinkle lights adorn the side yard.
