While attending her sister's wedding in Pasadena, a young woman learns of a family secret that has the potential to flip her world upside down. She discovers that the book and subsequent film "The Graduate" were possibly inspired by her own family's history. Intrigued and somewhat disconcerted by the idea that her grandmother might have been the prototype for the infamous Mrs. Robinson, and her late mother the real-life Elaine, she embarks on a quest for truth. This journey not only aims to uncover the past but also forces her to reconsider her current relationship and her understanding of love and fidelity.

Her pursuit leads her to a confrontation with her grandmother, seeking answers to the longstanding mystery. The meeting challenges her preconceptions and reveals uncomfortable truths about her family's past. In the process, she also encounters a man who could be the embodiment of Benjamin Braddock's character from "The Graduate," further complicating her feelings and her quest. As she delves deeper, she finds herself wrestling with the implications of her discoveries not just on her family's legacy, but also on her personal life and choices, pushing her toward a crossroads that could redefine her future.
