Eighty years later, her granddaughter Becky is stuck in her hometown, cooking dinners for her dad and singing old songs at other people's weddings, dreaming of a better time.The 1940s are more real to Becky than her life, but when a friend moves back to town, she's forced to face the present. What happens when there's no war left to fight?
