When a brother says their mother is “taxed” and wants to see her, Shé heads across country to attempt a reconciliation, having just discovered her inner surfista at age 54. She leaves the beloved Pacific, towing a ten-foot teardrop travel trailer, searching for surf spots and swimming holes along the way.
