In London for his daughter's wedding, a New York jingle writer feels the full weight of life's disappointments wash over him. Estranged from his family and facing the prospect of losing his job, his visit seems marked by the kind of sadness and failure that has characterized much of his later years. The wedding serves not as a joyful celebration but as a stark reminder of his own failings, especially when he learns that his daughter has chosen her stepfather to give her away. Amidst the pomp and circumstance of the British ceremony, he finds himself drifting further away from the connection and relevance he desperately seeks.

At the airport, contemplating a hurried return to New York and his impending job loss, he meets a woman whose life appears as stalled as his own. She works at the airport, lives with her mother, and seems resigned to a future devoid of excitement or love. An unexpected conversation between them sparks a connection that surprises both. Seizing what feels like his last chance to experience something meaningful, he invites her out, embarking on an impromptu adventure through London. Their day together brings moments of shared laughter, comfort, and a glimmer of hope that perhaps it's never too late to find happiness or change the course of one's life.
