Carol Peterson, a widow in her 70s, leads a quiet, solitary life with a structured routine, sharing her days with her loyal dog. Her world changes when her pet passes away, leaving her profoundly lonely. In an attempt to fill the void, she reconnects with her friends in a seniors' club, forming a new bond with Lloyd, her pool maintenance man, who is significantly younger but shares her sense of isolation. They inspire each other to explore new experiences, and Lloyd's unique perspective encourages Carol to re-evaluate her approach to life.

As Carol opens up to new possibilities, she encounters Bill, a charismatic and charming man closer to her age. He introduces her to the excitement of new romance, and for the first time in years, Carol allows herself to embrace love once again. Simultaneously juggling the budding relationships with Lloyd and Bill, Carol finds herself on a journey of self-discovery and renewal. Through these bonds and renewed connections with friends and the world around her, she navigates the complexities of aging and the ever-present potential for new beginnings.
